Re: RFC - MACRO

there are particupal points to aply a macro, like $_GLOBALS,like eval... particular reasons. zend engine and php internals are macro-oriented programing... you can define a pattern(prefix,sufix,etc...) to ensure the purpose of macros, avoiding doubts.. RET_IF_ERR is a clean macro.. MACRO_1 is a very perl-read-only-macro.. doValidations() is a clean method. process() is a poor description method... and so on..
