I think there may be an attractive middle ground here: support a

However, this very same argument could be made
against features like
'include_file' and #!ifdef& friends, and some other things that have
made Kamailio 3.x much better than 1.x from a code management
perspective. These features have revolutionised our deployment,
standardisation and maintenance process.
i agree and since i'm using M4 is have had no use of #!ifdef& friends,
because (as you point out) those alone are not powerful enough. so
either embed all M4 features in sr or none and use M4 instead.
