Nothing is definite. But I want Gambas to offer the less possible 
syntactic sugar to the user (it's roughly the opposite of Python & Perl 
AFAIK).

It makes program more readable and debugging is easier. I know that many 
Gambas programmer have the capacity to create code without tabulations 
and random variable names, but I can't do nothing against that - at the 
moment :-)

So, to say things differently: preprocessing like the C/C++ preprocessor 
is far too powerful for my taste. I will reread your mails carefully (I 
didn't had the time to look the thread entirely yet), but I'm almost 
sure that you do not need a preprocessor at all.
