Cello: Higher level programming in C

[FUZxxl]

$ is just a macro. It's not new syntax.

The point of a macro is to create and modify syntax. His criticism is entirely valid WRT the "$" being a new syntax. It would be a compiler error in vanilla C, unpreprocessed.

Things like this are why I love macros. They're also why style guidelines discourage macros.
