(Get the code!)
The startup script could set a variable to suppress the error messages from macLib and just print a warning. Unexpanded macros could still trigger syntax errors in the parser, but the IOC would continue to load if they don't (actually the code already does that, it just prints some scary error messages too). The changes for this are attached.

This code prints a warning for each line in the file that has unexpanded macros. Making that once per file might be possible, but I'll leave someone else to work on that if desired.
