since there is no reply so far to my questions I conclude that you don't have any concrete example, what a pitty
I have not had time to look up whatever it is that you are doing. What I know is that there are a finite number of ways which can be used to interact with an argument and none can be safely (i.e. without errors) used on all input (discounting pathological unbalanced parentheses) with the sole exceptions of stringizing (which you can always do) and token- pasting to a placemarker (which you can always do) neither of which yield results which are detectable for this purpose. Without having to looked at precisely what you think works, I suspect that you are doing something that should produce errors with some types of input but doesn't because the particular preprocessor(s) that you've used are permissive instead of strict. If you show what you are doing here, I can take it apart to show where it doesn't work. Pardon if you have already shown that and I missed it.
It is not uncommon for people on this ML to reply within 1-2 days or over ~1 week (that is because most people on this ML are also busy with work-- a project release, etc). Occasionally, a thread gets a back and forth of replies within hours but that is the norm only for library review threads.
Quite right. Regards, Paul Mensonides
