list equ kitty, cat


macro temp [a] { a db 0 }

match meow, list {
        temp meow
}

dq cat    

After finally sitting down with this problem again and reviewing your code, i realized that match can simply dereference a list into an actual comma separated list.

Code:

list equ kitty, cat


macro temp [a] { a db 0 }

match meow, list {
   temp meow
}

dq cat    

The result makes me feel very, very silly.
