No macros in Python

That's really (mostly) my fault. I often trim all attribution when
I post. I do this largely to avoid the type of error you just noted.

Well, one value is the ability to design domain-specific dialects of
the language. Whether or not _you_ value this is, of course, a separate
question.

I ran into a situation the other day where I would have liked a generator
to grab the state of the parent frame and not the frame I am in. Don't
know any way to do this currently, but could do it if I could lexically expand
a macro in the parent frame's context. Given a broader set of choices, I
wouldn't prefer that one, though.
