AST macros were discussed informally on the day after the conference,

I think others have suggested doing something similar like Nemerle,
Scala or Nimrod.
Yes but only in very vague terms -- not in any more words than that.
When I look at the Nimrod docs, it basically seems to be nothing more
than "expose the compiler internal data structures". Which is extremely
easy to do but causes a heap of problems in the long term.
