Off the top of my head, I would say that it would be easier (less coding) to use
numbers-- like 1, 2, 3 etc-- rather than letters A, B, C. Using letters would
involve generating 'strings' (i.e., text) whereas numbers are much easier to
program with. My opinion ;-)

Even then, I am not sure that #declare statements themselves can be
'auto-generated' the way you mention (only because I don't remember if I have
ever tried that myself.) My own experience is with auto-creating the variable
*after* the = sign.

Others here may prove me wrong, of course!
