80 ;;Quote: a macro processor adds flexibility to a base language; allows alteration, delayed binding, and extensions
80 ;;Quote: a macro processor allows alteration of a general programming language to fit specific needs; e.g., knitting and crop-rotation
84 ;;Quote: define macros for anything that may change; allows delayed binding for implementation of the macros
84+;;Quote: every aspect of a program is liable to change, but languages require details to be fixed; use macros
97 ;;Quote: full extensibility is impossible because there is nothing to build on
