Maybe we should make some time for all of us to get on IRC together to
discuss this?

I had some thoughts on what I think is a reasonably sane variable /
expression system for dtc.  Not quite the same thing as a macro
system, but a good start on one.

Although I also think we should still consider if using m4 as a
preprocessor (with some preloaded macros) could be sufficient.  Adding
expression and macro functions to dtc itself would be rather a lot of
work.
