If you remove the script assumption from the statement, the issues doesn't
arise, either... ;-)

Actually, this conversation has crystallized it for me -- the issue is that
the current spec file is mish-mash of "tagged" information, "meta-code"
(macros, conditionals, etc.), and actual code.  Pulling the code out of
this stew, and formalizing the representation of the information would only
be to the good, in my book...
