Another argument for converting to a step-by-step description is to ask
whether the terminating whitespace of an escaped identifier is or is not
escaped if it happens to be a newline.

    `define add_two_escaped_ids (  \A[1]
                                 + \A[0] )

Where A[1] has been terminated by a newline, shouldn't this end the macro definition?

This example doesn't work.  But to specify that, we need to give the tokenizing order.
