I've heard numerous requests over the years for the equivalent
of a #define in MW.
Such a construct would:
- not clutter up the variables window, etc.
- function in places where variables cannot (e.g. the range in a
replicator; as an aside we could also allow variables function in
this way with their default values, those this opens up some
potential confusion about what replicators are and when they are
evaluated).
- possibly extend beyond just values (e.g. function names,
operators, etc.)
Some thought / debate should probably go into what scope/scale
such a thing would take (e.g. operates just in "expression"
contexts? just scalar values? a full macro preprocessor? etc.
etc.).
