Thanks. I dimly remembered you posted something on this.

Also, you posted an issue with "IF ()" as well, I've recently discovered
that "IF ()" tests for boolean macro arguments don't seem to work, if
you assign it to another variable within the macro then it does work.
Have you come across this? If not I'll raise a bug report.
