I assumed files were reopened when calling macros exactly to provide 
them with some clucky local context. :P  If not, I don't see the reason 
for the reopening...

I'll dig in now, but since my point is replacing all that, I don't think 
I'll lose my time trying to understand it in the first place... :P

Oh, almost forgot pre-compiled includes... but not to scare people off 
it's worth reminding it should be something akin to how Python does, 
source and bytecode side-by-side.  It just loads the bytecode if already 
compiled and if not, compiles and stores for next time.
