As a perl affectionado, I love the escape character. Actually, I would be in support of some kind of regex parsing, but that would take some insane work, I imagine, you might as well throw in DRAW while you're there.
As far as preprocessing goes, That doesn't matter so much. Just make some kind of clear functional definition between preprocessing and compiler options. I can sort of see the difference between conditional compiling and say, $dynamic, but I can't really put it to words.
I still support a metacommand for escape characters over OPTION. I'd get rid of OPTION altogether if I could, or metacharacters. They can't work together, they're bitter enemies of nonunity.
