Thoughts?
Looks like a hybrid between imperative and declarative macros.
It's natural for C++ to add lots of syntax, but declarative
additions don't look very valuable, because imperative macros are
already turing-complete and can do any job. With this C++ will
have 3 macro systems: imperative, declarative and preprocessor.
ps CTFE and AST DOM API naturally make minimalistic and versatile
AST macros.
