Great! I'm assuming the whole Pure programming language can be used for macros as in Lisp. I can see the same advantages for Pure 
as in Scheme. I think the biggest win is that you can keep the Pure Interpreter lean and mean and build the rest of the language 
using pure Pure.

I'm looking forward to macros :-)
