Implementation: need to have monitor flags for each state set; must also
change interface to snc (monitored becomes a bitmask with numSS bits).
+
+* Add some sort of built-in macro language. Something that nicely integrates
+ with the existing SNL syntax would be nice, e.g. ::
+
+ define macro (arg, ...) {
+ definition
+ }
+ include "headerfile";
+
+ Use of CPP could then be deprecated. What about token catenation and
+ stringification as in CPP?
+
+ Implementation would have to be an intermediate step between lexing and parsing.
