I had some thoughts on what I think is a reasonably sane variable / expression system for dtc. Not quite the same thing as a macro system, but a good start on one. Although I also think we should still consider if using m4 as a preprocessor (with some preloaded macros) could be sufficient. Adding expression and macro functions to dtc itself would be rather a lot of work. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
