You don’t have to do it all by yourself. This isn’t a straight 
forward engineering problem. It takes some innovation and 
thinking in terms of classification as well as parsing.

It takes a little bit of research and perhaps borrowing some 
ideas from others. This problem needs some cooperation and 
prototyping I think.

One should be able to get macro expansion to 99.9%, if you done 
in situ, for typical C APIs.
