You mean /define/ VAR VALUE? It's on hold right now; I've been waiting
for this patch to be merged before trying to push that, since one of the
objections against the /define/ patch was that we didn't know what the
future dtc expressions syntax would look like, and hence couldn't tell
whether /define/ fit into it. Now at least we know what integer
expressions look like, so can perhaps start thinking about /define/
syntax again...
