In section 6.2.2.1, it says:
"Declarations, like most language directives, can appear anywhere in the
file - even within other statements. "

However, there is an exception to this: you cannot put a declaration, or any
other language directive, in the middle of an array initialization.  For
example, the following is not allowed:

#declare SplineData = array[6]
{ <.6,1,-.1>,        <.54,1,-.6>,    <.5,.35,-.9>,  <.6,.35,-1.25>,
   <.6,.35,-1.65>, #declare a = 0.7;  <.3, a, -.73> }

Later in that section, it says:
"However if you attempt to re-declare an identifier as anything other than
its original type, it will generate a warning message."

This is no longer true.

In section 6.2.2.4, the line "See also "The #ifdef and #ifndef Directives""
is not a hyperlink.
