[erlang-questions] variable argument preprocessor macros

[Robert Virding]

No. The only thing you can do is have is to have:

    SIMPLE_SERVER_DEBUG_2("mesg-1", "mesg-2")
and
    SIMPLE_SERVER_DEUBG_4("mesg-1", "mesg-2", mesg-3, mesg-4)

Which is generally not a problem for you.

An alternative would be to use LFE which has proper lisp and scheme macros.
If you like writing in lisp. :-)
