Preprocessor

The talk about using a preprocessor to insert GCPRO and UNGCPRO has convinced me to post a proposal of my own a bit early. I also think that a specialized preprocessor is a good idea, but for a different purpose. I was actually going to work on cleaning up and extending this a bit this week, but I'd better throw it out now while people are thinking about preprocessors. Forgive the rough spots. If you like what I propose in principle, but hate the syntax, please suggest an alternate syntax. I'm not a language guy, so I'll willingly accept suggestions for improvement from those with better ideas than mine. Incidentally, I agree with Martin that using a preprocessor to insert GCPRO/UNGCPRO is going to be very hard. But I think the use I propose will actually be pretty straightforward. Let me know what you think. If you post to the list, don't bother CC:ing me. Thanks, -- Jerry James
