?? text :: inline_me( exp1, exp2)
X = exp1 * exp2
?? end text inline_me

?? copy :: inline_me( (a+b), (c+d))

produces

X = (a+b)*(c+d)

I.e., the parenthesis may be added in the arguments
on the copy statement.  Perhaps coco should have
an option to report occurrences of macro and text
arguments which do not have enclosing parenthesis!

My coco's text-copy mechanism is a full-blown
copy-paste-substitute mechanism.

It's not in coco to support templates, nor inlining,
but because I found myself manually editing many
copy-paste-substitute cycles when coding f95.
