That's what I thought it was. What confuses me is what's a Predefined 
macro is then and why we would want it?

I think I see what the controversy is. Because a macro can be any string 
then you have to scan every line for every macro. If there is a 
performance issue then let me suggest this. Have the ability to set a 
compile flag that MACROS have to be UPPERCASE and at least say 6 
characters long. That should cut down on the performance problems.

Also, why aren't these macros expanded once at load time and stored in 
memory expanded?
