RE: [sv-bc] Re: [sv-ec] Query regarding Macro substitution

I believe 1364-2005 enhanced macro names to now allow escaped identifiers. Thus:

`define \foo!  12

is now a legal macro definition of the macro name "\foo! ". If one wishes to use such a macro in the body of another macro, that could be accomplished in 1364-2005 by:


`define indexFoo(var) var[`\foo! ]
If I understand your proposal, you've wound up changing the meaning of the above macro. In fact, your proposal doesn't appear to allow a direct way to expand a macro named by an escaped identifier within another macro.
