This is similar to string macro defined by following B<define>
command.  But macro expantion is done by simple string replacement, so
you have to use B<expand> to define option composed by multiple
arguments.

=item B<define> I<name> I<string>

Define string macro.  This is similar to B<option>, but argument is
not processed by I<shellwords> and treated just a simple text, so
meta-characters can be included without escape.  Macro expansion is
done for option definition and other macro definition.  Macro is not
evaluated in command line option.  Use option directive if you want to
use in command line,

    define (#kana) \p{InKatakana}
    option --kanalist --nocolor -o --join --re '(#kana)+(\n(#kana)+)*'
    help   --kanalist List up Katakana string

Here-document can be used to define string inluding newlines.

    define __script__ <<EOS
