Im sorry, it's my fault for going from a while-loop to a for-loop and pretending
leaving it that nice. The first three exorcisms will not be charged to your
monthly subscription account.

ORIGINAL:
#macro Inv_String (S)
 #local C = strlen (S) ;
 #local Inv = concat ( #while(C>0) substr(S,C,1) #local C=C-1; #end )
  Inv
#end

FIXED:
 #macro Inv_String (S)
  #local C = strlen (S) ;
  #local I_S = concat ( #for(C,C,0) substr(S,C,1) #end )
  I_S
 #end
