Message: [QUOTE="Doug Tolton, post: 1730425"] Heh, yeah I've noticed that a couple of times. Poor Kenny keeps getting blamed for things I've said. D'oh! I agree the C macro system is constantly abused. Then again, I haven't ever been a really big fan of the C macro system, primarily because even if it's used correctly it has always struck me as an ugly hack. I don't think that's because it's overly expressive and powerful though, rather I think it's because of it's limitations and foreign feeling syntax. Again, I can see setting corporate wide policies that specify if you change the OPTION BASE, we are going to take you out behind the shed and beat you silly. I don't think the existence of OPTION BASE is a problem, personally I think it's when someone decides they want to change the OPTION BASE to 0 while everyone else is still using 1. That doesn't necessarily imply that OPTION BASE is by itself and evil construct. [/QUOTE]
