This has been brought up countless times and has always been rejected
(browse the archives if you aren't convinced).
Anyhow, I just hope I never have to maintain code you write in this fashion.
Pre-compilation macros are very out of character in the dynamic languages
paradigm and I doubt they'd be useful in any case. The examples you gave
convinced me once and for all that this is a very² bad idea. There's a
reason why no modern language uses three letters tokens for common
statements, I'll let you guess what it is.
Anyhow, merry Christmas.
P.S.: SCOPE_CLASS ? Have you ever heard of namespaces ?
