PHP has no built-in macro language. I started to write a pre-processor
a while ago but didn't get very far before the real world forced me to
shelve it, but such a beast is pretty simple to write but obviously is
not evaluated at runtime.

IIRC there was a project a while ago to build a macro language into
PHP but I have no idea how far it got. I think it was being done under
the GSoC initiative. Google should have more on that.
