Lines and Sequences with arguments

A line or sequence definition can also have parameters like a MACRO. Such a line or sequence can be nested (and instantiated) in another line or sequence, but it must have a unique name when instantiated in a sequence.

Examples:

CELL(X,Y):SEQUENCE,L=79;
   QF&X: QF,AT=...;
   Y&X:  Y,L=1,AT=...;
   QD&X: QD,AT=...;
ENDSEQUENCE;

When used as

CELL12: CELL(12,SF);

this expands to

CELL12:SEQUENCE,L=79;
   QF12: QF,AT=...;
   SF12: SF,L=1,AT=...;
   QD12: QD,AT=...;
ENDSEQUENCE;

A second example:

CELL(X,Y):LINE=(D1,QF&X,D2,Y&X,D3,QD&X,D4);

If the proper drifts are used, this example is equivalent to the sequence example above.
