Dave, your claim that I'm proposing macros will make many people ignore and never see the real proposal.
Macros and functions are very, very different. My proposal has only regular, run-of-the-mill functions. They don't have parentheses around the arguments, but this detail doesn't make them in any way related to macros and their problems. Since you made that incorrect claim without reading, could you please consider commenting on the /actual/ proposal? I find it disconcerting that this list will so easily brush off proposals with some vague comment about something never proposed.
