Trac is pretty old, as far as I can tell; it was documented in CACM
back in volume 9 (e.g. - 1966). And I remember seeing it in _Computer
Lib_ many moons ago...
There's a reimplementation project (look for project "trac2001" at SourceForge)
ML/I is probably of more interest; it was originally written in PDP7
assembler, but Parzival has redone it in C...
<http://members.shaw.ca/parz/ML1.html>
Parzival argues it's way better than M4; it looks pretty similar to
SNOBOL to me, but I don't see it being likely that it'll become more
popular than M4.
I'd much rather try to deploy ML/I than Trac, at any rate.
It seems to me that the world could indeed use a better macro-oriented
text rewriting language, but I'm not quite sure what it ought to look
like. cpp isn't the answer; I'm not quite sure what is...
