Sorry, a bit typo. IMHO, making it an external tool gains a lot of
flexibility. The main purpose of macros is to define your own language
without the support of compiler. If it's tightly coupled with compiler,
any minimal change will be delayed. Given the compiler library was
exported, I don't see any sense that P4 still stays in the compiler.
