| Summary | 0001709: Specify handling of '#' in macro definitions | ||||
| Description | The section about macro definitions seems unorganized. For example, the handling of '#' characters is only specified for the '?=' macro definition operator but not for the 5 other operators. There should be a general introduction before definiting the specific assignment operators. The handling of '#' characters and white-space characters around the macro name, the operator and the macro value should take place in this general introduction.
Macro definitions have the form 'name op value', where:
name is a single-word macro name,
op is one of the macro definition operators described
below, and
value is interpreted according to the macro definition operator.
As a reader, I also wonder why 'string1' is named so unspecifically instead of using 'name' for it. On the other hand, I understand that 'string2' is interpreted differently for each operator, thus the name 'value' wouldn't fit perfectly. | ||||
| Desired Action | Reorganize the section 'Macros' to have the general parts first, followed by the operator-specific parts. | ||||
