Obviously macros /can/ be done away with, by avoiding them or doing 
expansions by hand.

But if you're going to create a C compiler that doesn't support macros, 
then it won't be popular with people expecting to be able to write 
normal C, and you will have trouble compiling any existing code.

Why not just throw in a discrete macro processor? The output will be the 
plain C that you want.
