The more I think about it, the less I think that the CL Feature Expression 
approach is satisfactory as is.

I'm now reasonably convinced that, horror of horrors, we should look to the C 
preprocessor for inspiration.

CL's approach only provides flags, not key/value pairs. Also, the CL approach 
does not provide a structured form for if/else or cond expressions and has only 
limited and/or/not predicate combinators. Experience in writing portable C code 
has proven that == and >= are important for checking version numbers and 
feature levels.
