I probably do far too much with a standalone macro processor...

 
If you're doing it for sport, though, there have been lots of fun things
done with macros.  My favourite is an IBM 360 macro that would solve the
Towers of Hanoi problem, and use the MNOTE directive to show the moves.
It generated no executable code - the expanded source code listing was
the solution.
 
I've written a couple of macro processors, and the acid test for each
was to write a recursive Towers of Hanoi macro for them.

I did these; I'll do more when I get time!
