Only allow them to be defined once. So that core directives
could not be overridden. The direcitves #if and #macro already
exist so attempts to define them again would fail. That
failure could be logged. So core directives would be safe,
and if someone tried to define a macro with the same name
twice only the first one would count. I'm working
on a syntax checker a la 'perl -c' to check the validity
of a template, so that could be another check: multiple
definitions of macros.
