Do I smell the C pre-processor and his macros-of-doom? I would be very 
careful to enable a macro-ish language aspect.

I would vote to rather provide specific options like this as runtime 
flags, e.g. "Parser.setContinueAfterErrors(true)". You really don't need 
a full blown macro compile-time language to provide such a small feature.

Everytime I ask someone for an example for the use of Aspect Oriented 
Programming the only thing they can come up with is logging...
