I wrote a protocol-tester overseer, which lets you run tests on hosts/services.

It is natural to want to write macros, but I didn't want to add support to the parser. Instead if an input file is executable then the output of executing it is parsed, rather than just the literal contents, which allows local macros to be built/used.
