Yes, I've been following this issue closely. Nick Cameron is working on a revamped macro system that will replace the current compiler plugin system for the purposes of syntax extensions.

Here are some recent posts by Nick on his experiments and progress (in order of publication): * http://www.ncameron.org/blog/macro-plans-syntax/ http://www.ncameron.org/blog/macro-plans-syntax/ * http://www.ncameron.org/blog/procedural-macros-framework/ http://www.ncameron.org/blog/procedural-macros-framework/ * http://www.ncameron.org/blog/libmacro/ http://www.ncameron.org/blog/libmacro/ Pretty much all of his recent blog posts are on the topic, so it's worth browsing through all of them if you're interested.
