Narrowing the distinction between ado-files and internal commands

  • variable lists can now be as large as those used by internal commands

    • maximum macro length increased to hold longest possible varlist
    • 2,047 * 9 = 18,423 < 18,632
  • double-quotes can be passed to ado-files

    logistic outcome x1 x2 if gender=="male"
  • results are saved in the same form as internal commands

    • no more mix of _result(#) and $S_ macros
    • _result(#) is dead
