@voxik I can't see why Ruby (or python, or awk, or any other interpreter) would not work.  As for _supported_, that's not my call.

But as you point out, this does allow the spec writer more flexibility in what interpreter their spec evaluates macros, but does require them to define the shell in their spec to get something other than the default `/bin/sh`.

This is not unlike [setting SHELL in Makefiles](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Choosing-the-Shell.html).
