Sorry Jonas,
thats my bad English. Some days ago I had a macro related question.
About the expansion of build-in macros. And it turned out that macro is
some kind of step child.
The answer I got was use IDE-macros instead.

Would not it be helpful to leave the debugging code in the source, and
let him vanish through a conditional define?
