To sum things up: a bit of scoping for macros, less macros as flags, but
hardly the obsolescence of macro metaprogramming on which modules have
no incidence at all.

If anything, I'd say that the improvements presented by any of the
several different modules proposals in flux would be gladly welcomed by
libraries like PP and VMD.
