I appreciate your offer but I would have some reservations.  I would be
concerned about ripple effects.

TDE derives its debugging information from the LIST file generated by
CVASM.  Macros would affect the list file and thereby affect TDE's ability
to parse the file.

Any CVASM changes that affect its list file would have to be designed to
avoid breaking TDE or would have to be released in conjunction with a TDE
update, unless that change included generating a COD file as well.  I
expect generating a COD file is more work than adding the MACROs and
conditionals.

My point is that updating CVASM itself is only one part of a larger effort.
There truly is no free lunch.  I expect Parallax was thinking similar
things when you made them this offer.
