Fair enough. I simply thought that macros were an *old* technique that could be useful, even if only as part of the implementation, but the consensus is otherwise. I don't quite understand, but I'll shut up now :-)
You are not meant to shut up! :) I'm just saying that I'm -1 on adding macros to Python, and even more to use TiPy as a vehicle for that. It is better to leave general design questions out of this young project. But if we do need something macro-like to quickly build up the new system, this might be a different issue. I'm open to anything that makes the implementation easier, faster, better maintainable, and I do appreciate your input.
I guess the operative part of the culture document is #5, 'Flat is better than nested'.
Please don't continue the thread, I'm convinced.
