Now About That Macro Language #

Excellent as always, but this is really bothering me now. What is "... That C-like macro language that programmer's editors support but which nobody much uses."

Obviously I don't much use it.

Oh dear!

Verity has used Lisp in a humerous context.

The wrath of Stallman will descend upon her. Never will she be allowed to use a "(" again.

She will be cast out from by hosts of the one true language for they cannot laugh nor even smile.

Stallman have pity on her.

I tried reading it. I think I made it as far as "I'll pay for a boxing ring, I know martial arts, I'll kick your ass" before losing the will to live.

Hmm would the C-like macro language be m4???

Anyway this would be great as a programmers version of a BOFH ;)
