The point is, I think, that in GPC conditional compiler defines (macros set with $define)
They aren't really macros since they don't have the macro text editting effect. What GPC's documentation refers to as "conditionals" are distinctly different from macros.
They *can* be macros, see section 6.9 of the gpc manual:
{$define loop while True do}
define ‘loop’ to be ‘while True do’ or as a macro like in C. The name of the {$CIDefine loop ...} macro is case-insensitive. Note: Macros are disabled in ‘--borland-pascal’ mode because BP doesn’t support macros.
