Conditionals, loops and recursion
*********************************

   Macros, expanding to plain text, perhaps with arguments, are not
quite enough.  We would like to have macros expand to different things,
based on decisions taken at run-time.  E.g., we need some kind of
conditionals. Also, we would like to have some kind of loop construct,
so we could do something a number of times, or while some condition is
true.

* Menu:

* Ifdef                        Testing if a macro is defined
* Ifelse                       If-else construct, or multibranch
* Loops                        Loops and recursion in m4
