Yes. I remember somebody I worked with once who write a C

#define IF if (

Elmer generates glue code that embeds an interpreter for one type of language into an extension for another.

Re: Straight line detection

If all you want is horizontal, vertical, or 45 degree diagonal, it's pretty easy to do that just be checking all of the possibilities.
