M4 sounded like a nice idea at first, but in retrospect perhaps we

Perhaps it'd be better to drop the postprocessor phase entirely; it's
nice in some respects, but I'm afraid it's turning out to be more
trouble than it's worth.
What do you have in your mind here? I.e., how should the parser code
be generated without postprocessing?
