References. I want references :) I think adding real pointers to the SDL 
would be a bad idea, but I often run into situations where I'd like to 
be able to do some referencing...

Also I'd like to have better encapsulation options, like non-global 
macros and an include-file-wide identifier-table, which is shared with 
macros (e.g. to allow a macro to access a variable in the same 
include-file which is not accessable from the outside of the include-file).

The ultimate feature would be class-like access to already defined 
structures, like

#declare MyUnion = union { ... }
#foreach (Object in MyUnion)
	#if (Object is union)
		#debug "Union!\n"
	#else
		#debug "Some other object!\n"
	#end
	#foreach (Texture in Object.textures)
		Texture.finish.reflection = 1;
	#end
#end
