I think that macro definitions are slurped, not parsed. In other words, it gets tricky to check for that (Only macro expansions are parsed.) (FYI, the 3-phase PIR compiler pirc/new + pirc/macro separates the macro stuff from pure PIR; the macro processor is really a parser there, which would be able to do this in a nicer way. The future of pirc is unclear, though; currently it's a lot of work to do a replacement for imcc) kjs
