fails in this macro, and is hard to find.  If, hoever, one writes

	else;

instead of

	else

the problem goes away.

Personally I still like my macros simple. I favor the notion of intelligent
compilation and elimination of redundant/unused object modules as more
valuable then #define'd pseudofunctions.

If only there were a way to say "now about this function - it goes inline"
in C. It's been done in Franz Lisp - take a look at defmacro....
Any volunteers? :-)
