1 ===============
1 
1 Enable alternate macro mode, enabling:
1 
1 'LOCAL NAME [ , ... ]'
1      One additional directive, 'LOCAL', is available.  It is used to
1      generate a string replacement for each of the NAME arguments, and
1      replace any instances of NAME in each macro expansion.  The
1      replacement string is unique in the assembly, and different for
1      each separate macro expansion.  'LOCAL' allows you to write macros
1      that define symbols, without fear of conflict between separate
1      macro expansions.
1 
1 'String delimiters'
1      You can write strings delimited in these other ways besides
1      '"STRING"':
1 
1      ''STRING''
1           You can delimit strings with single-quote characters.
1 
1      '<STRING>'
1           You can delimit strings with matching angle brackets.
1 
1 'single-character string escape'
1      To include any single character literally in a string (even if the
1      character would otherwise have some special meaning), you can
1      prefix the character with '!' (an exclamation mark).  For example,
1      you can write '<4.3 !> 5.4!!>' to get the literal text '4.3 >
1      5.4!'.
1 
1 'Expression results as strings'
1      You can write '%EXPR' to evaluate the expression EXPR and use the
1      result as a string.
