I am aware of how C macros are traditionally handled, thank you, but
that is not what I was asking. My question was in relation to yours:

    What the heck is this good for, where config dependency would be useful?

It is pretty easy to see why it would be useful -- for instance, we
would have less (and thus more readable) generated code, as well as
faster macros too.

That is not the root issue. That is a constraint you have.

And I don't see why you say it is a "must" -- we could have a way to
rebuild the required proc macros that out-of-tree modules need on the
fly, for instance, if we end up supporting that use case.

Cheers,
Miguel
