28.4 Using multiple-value list variables

In addition to single-value macro variables (see §28.3 Using macro variables), you can use multiple-value list variables. A list variable is a macro variable that contains an ordered, indexable collection of items, each of the form index=value, much like an array in the C programming language. A list variable can hold up to 64K items.
