typical socket ocde currently looks a bit unfriendly due to magic

socket sock, 2, 1, 6 # PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, tcp
I'd like to have symbolic constants for all that stuff:
socket sock .PF_INET, .SOCK_STREAM, .PROTO_tcp
Appended is a C snippet, which produces such constants[1]. It's incomplete
and not integegrated in Configure/make at all, but maybe it is a starting
point.
Q: is there a better option to generate these constants?
It'd sure be nice to have a PGE/TGE parser that could understand C header
files and generate static NCI code. (That is, don't make the FFI mistake of
parsing the header files every time you run the program that uses them.)

Its a start at a PGE grammar for C99
