using a c++ interpreter as a macro system

[Rasm]

What do you think of using a c++ interpreter as a more advanced macro
system? Has it been done? It would be nice to be able to use c++ to
manipulate c++ code as data before compile time. Like you do with lisp or
tcl but still maintaining c++ speed.

Woah! An enlightened one, around these parts!

Yes, it's been done. Look up OpenC++.
