There was the stand-alone macro processsor ML/1 way back in the 60's.  
It could be used to preprocess justa bout any language.  It had a 
rich delimiter syntax, so it could handle macros that coule be 
called like

  for i in list foo do onionsoup(i) end

and recognise that the parameters of this macro were
   i
   foo
   onionsoup(i)

It is also the only macro language I know that allowed nested scopes in 
the macro language and handled proper static binding of macro-time 
names.
