Most people realized that abusing the *C* preprocessor for languages other than C/C++ was a mistake, some ten years ago when ANSI specified that the C preprocessor must actually understand the C language. The fact that GNU C still allowed it to sort-of work for other languages is something of a happy accident, not a natural law or an obligation on anyone's part. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
