You've already lost me.

If someone sees a code fragment containing '#define', is that processed 
according to the old or new rules? What happens when people copy and 
paste across files, or just want to share code.

It's too confusing.

Why not use something different from '#' (I think @ is available), or 
change the directives, so #newdefine or #Define or whatever?
