In TeX I can define, say
def1#1 is #2.#1 & is & #2.\
and
def2#1 has #2.#1 & has & #2.\
with an easy usage: 1 Jim Jones is a fictional character.
and2 Tim Smith has two brothers.
This gives three columns of a tabular: Jim Jones, is, a fictional character. Similarly in the second case.
Can I write a definition depending on, in this case, is/has so I can write
3 Jim Jones is a fictional character.
and3 Tim Smith has two brothers.
obtaing the previous results?
Solutions using Lua or expl3 are OK, but I hope that a pure TeX one is also possible.
