Always nice to remove something from an old wish list!
An SVG Wish List
It's no secret: I love SVG. But it isn't perfect. Here are some features I hope eventually come to the standard, if not in SVG 2 then in some future successor (or even a preprocessor).

Oh... at further inspection the second buffer overflow is in an alternative codepath for if a certain preprocessor define isn't defined. If a certain function of the standard library exists, you define it, otherwise it falls back to a fallback path that doesn't use it.

Also unzip is probably the most horrifying codebase I have ever touched. In addition to the typical K&R function definitions and custom typedefs, it's a complete and utter mess of preprocessor defines for the enormous amounts of platforms it supports, most of them obsolete nowadays. I even found […]

KPPax: preprocess differentiable kinetic ODE for machine learning in atmospheric chemistry
Atmospheric chemical mechanisms are commonly distributed in the language of the Kinetic PreProcessor (KPP), which generates efficient Fortran or C code but does not fit into the differentiable programming frameworks in which machine-learning models are developed.
