It sounds like you have a misunderstanding here. The #declare statement 
is not a macro declaration. It declares an actual variable. After 
"#declare A = 2+2;", "A" is a variable containing the value 4, not a 
macro expanding to the string "2+2".
For modifying variables, the #declare or #local is necessary. This is 
just a syntax issue, and has nothing to do with macros. (In MegaPOV, 
there is a #set keyword specifically for modifying existing variables 
without the possibility of accidentally creating a new one.)
