Phil, thank you for sharing this, this is a wonderful

at least he achieved something! A sub-optimal standard
was better than nothing at all.
But fortunately, now we seem to have an opportunity to
rectify the wrongs of the past.

I think that the !...! format is also very useful, and
that we should keep it in the standard, in peaceful
coexistence with your macro facility.

I'd love to try your program, but unfortunately I do
not have a Mac, and none of my friends have a Mac. So
that's a bit of a problem.
