Description
It occurred to me since we are using JSON style sheets to style our application, and it is getting quite big, that a macro system (maybe similar to C/C++ with #define or something similar) would be useful, especially for repeated colors, and other constants (like padding values, fonts, etc.) This would enable using custom values consistently while avoiding inconsistencies due to typos or changes introduced one place and not others.
I was thinking of a simple
#define NAME value
as in C/C++, and then using $(NAME) as the substitution token. This is easily implemented in JSONSerializer.
I'm open to suggestions for the syntax, but I believe the feature will be very useful, especially for the JSON stylesheet.
