What --iftex must do is to `register' macro definitions within @tex
environments, at least if option -E is active.  So it has to somehow
parse the contents of @tex to recognize `\gdef\foo#1{...}' being a macro
definition for @foo{...} which must not be expanded.

For people who have enough insight, yes -- unfortunately, I don't have
yet.
