There's an article on gamasutra using that macro, that seems that this macro doesn't exist and several blogs copied that article without ever trying to read the article. The maco does not exist in practice (or at least at my knowledge and using google). Maybe some experienced user know something about that.^^

Just checked the article.
the repeat does nothing else then generatethe statement several times.
We're programmers. Programmers are, in their hearts, architects, and the first thing they want to do when they get to a site is to bulldoze the place flat and build something grand. We're not excited by renovation:tinkering,improving,planting flower beds.

That's what is supposed todo, but I have no Idea on how to implement such macro.. seems the only way is to manually creating the code. (well joining two macro ok, but generating macro code seems a bit hard if not impossible)

finally found! (indirectly)

seems that ME prefix stands for MolecuEngine, (found several macros on a blog with that prefix) and that source code is still closed that's why no documentation at all. Also using that macro will obviously advantage another engine so I'll drop its usage ^^ ( i mean no longer quasi-compile time string hash).

@hybrid you never been so nice ...
