plans for macros

[boyd]

What about just adding an if statement-within this kind of template?  
Wouldn't that suffice?

Using the ',' instead of concatenation can prevent a lot of complicated  
string functions. The only difference between that and macro's would be  
the function call and putting the objects on the stack. Basically the only  
advantage of macros would be that the function call is inlined.

Cheers,
Boyd
