Granted. ENDIF and END are both accepted for closing IFDEF et al.

Dear Aleksey,

I also have extended pa_macro according to most of your wishes (#2569[1245])
excepted for the following:

• local macros ([patch] pa_macro: support local macros; expand in try..with.. #8350)
• "NOTHING" macro ([patch] pa_macro: support for a "NOTHING" macro; expand function expressions. #8351)

I understand why you need them, and appreciate your contribution, but I need
some time to think about the design of this macro language. So, local and
NOTHING macros won't be part of the 3.08 release.

Thanks,

-- Michel

I understand. Please let me know if you want some feedback and/or help
with any of this stuff.

OK, I'll try to keep the remaining patches up-to-date once 3.08 is
released so that I can keep using these features locally and I will make
them available in case you decide to include them after all.
