Compilation's just execution of a regex, albeit the Perl6::Grammar::program regex, and that regex will need to be modified while it's in operation in order to pick up macro "is parsed" definitions and apply them to the rest of what it's parsing. -- * DrForr digs around for a fresh IV drip bag and proceeds to hook up. <dngor> Coffee port. <DrForr> Firewalled, like everything else around here.
