This is just the expression generated when you save a macro. Try C-h f 
'delete-whole-line and a *Help buffer will show this. You could shorten 
the macro name to 'dln and it would work the same. Try this and then 
invoke with M-x dln. So it's just go to beginning of line, kill line, 
kill newline. You can define keyboard macros and not save them if you 
need them for only one session.
