Well, if we can do it, great. I hate having to use $(P). But it does involve 
dmd inserting stuff on its own based on the format for the text rather than 
using macro expansion (much as what it inserts would presumably be macros to 
expand). However, as long as we can do that, it should be quite feasible.
