Noisy syntaxae (sp?) just make that so much more difficult. Have a look at macros in Rhombus. It's not helped by the 'I wrote a PhD and here is how macros should work using post-abstract deconvolved automorphic lattices' thing, but even then, oh god. CL macros are in many ways nasty, but what Rhombus does is not the fix. --tim Oh, sorry, I've just been told that it's reconvolved: deconvolved was two weeks ago.
