Not related to discussion, rather to "preprocessor", on my side I am working with the database. And the database could practically include certain Emacs Lisp expressions. Those could evolve from multiple users. That is where preprocessor could be useful on my side as to include such customized snippets or modified functions for each user being different. That is currently handled on my side by using `eval'. Other possible use for preprocessor is to dynamically include some date, signature, link snippets in the script. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
