[[2013_MeetingFebruary21][Meeting Minutes Feb 21, 2013]]

C like macros go somewhat too far. For example, we can use a C macro to replace the word "begin" with a "{". This sort of action does not belong in a VHDL environment.

OTOH, the thought of a light weight subprogram call is enticing, however, code in-lining is something compiler optimization can sort out. The thought of a [[AnonymousTypes][subprogram with anonymous types on the interface]] is also enticing, in fact we have a proposal for this.
