I tried this quickly while having lunch at home, but first found that
stdio.h was missing. I wouldn't dream of putting one there ;-), so I
investigated if someone else had. There is only one, the one that came
with Tcl. But when I use that one, I get tons of other errors. I am
thinking of writing my own macro elimination using Ada. Is it wise?
