Yes, COBOL has macros (kind of).

<g> Well, I think C calls them macros, so I thought I could get away
with it (kind of).

The whacky thing is that when I explored a port of my C version of the
Algebra software to Lisp I hid from Antlr all my macros that were
dereferencing pointers and handles (bless the Mac) so Antler thought
they were function calls and ... can you say "accessors"? Had I decided
to continue down that path I would have been able to do so as if
pointers and handles never existed.

Meanwhile GvR says: No macros for you!
