Sounds to me, it would be a better plan to make sure that the assembler accepts it '<<' both with and without '.altmacro' :) 
I agree that the assembler should accept the full syntax and all operators
for C expressions.  Recently I have rued the lack of unary '!' (negation of
truth value, including '!!' as characteristic function {true==>1, false==>0})
and trinary "?:" (conditional evaluation).

Same problem over here, where (taken from function.S)

A i + j, j > 0 ? N + j + 1 : i + 2

is accepted, but the equivalent

A (i + j), ((j > 0) ? (N + j + 1) : (i + 2))

is not accepted as valid expression.
