Hi, I really don't like macros. I have a hard time accepting boost PP but at least we have never before used macros in a way that means that they proliferate into user code. I can not see why this has even come up for formal review. If this is auseful feature then surely it should be taken up as a core language feature. I would not have such a problem if we had an experimental track and then people could try ideas before making a proposal. We don't have this at the moment and I don't believe this should be accepted into boost. So I vote no. I can't make any other comments on docs, design or implementation etc as I have not looked at it. I am voting no on principle. /ikh
