Macro: using /tm [exists] causes a lua error #829

Description

@kemayo
  1. Make a macro whose contents are: /tm [exists] 1
  2. Use it

You'll get this error:

3x ...dOns/Blizzard_ChatFrameBase/Shared/SlashCommands.lua:1382: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil)
[Blizzard_ChatFrameBase/Shared/SlashCommands.lua]:1382: in function '?'

[Blizzard_ActionBar/Shared/ActionButton.lua]:1546: in function <...ceBlizzard_ActionBar/Shared/ActionButton.lua:1545>


Locals:
msg = "[exists] 4"
marker = nil
target = "target"

This is because SecureCmdOptionParse("[exists] 4") returns nil.

This error didn't happen before the recent hotfix that added the ! behavior to /tm. I don't think there's any proscribed behavior being enabled here by it working -- the sole reason I have that [exists] in my macro is so I don't get a "you can't do that" error when I run that macro if I don't have anything targeted, and I was able to replace it with /stopmacro [noexists] on the previous line.
