Allow me a curious question for that matter:

What's the rationale for using huge macros in combination with REPEAT_FROM_TO in 
the Fusion source code (instead of using no macros and ITERATE)?

Please don't get me wrong: it's not my intention to complain about one of your 
remarkably great (no irony) libraries here (and I don't care as its user). I'm 
having some difficulties to understand how the ugliest way to use macros can be 
the best solution to that particular problem, though.

Regards,

Tobias
