Was it intended for the 'print' function of the pre-processor to generate the C code?

[icyselec]

This code usually fails to compile.

##[=[
print [[
static void greeting(void) {
	puts("Hello, world!");
}
]]
]=]

##[=[
cemit [[
	greeting();
]]
]=]

However, If you create the C code by giving the --print-code option, it leaves the following function definition at the begining of the source code. Example command line nelua --print-code test.nelua > output.c

static void greeting(void) {
	puts("Hello, world!");
}

And this code succeeds in C compiling.

One solution is to define the function as follows.

## perror = function (...) io.stderr:write(..., '\n') end
##[=[
-- no longer generate the C code.
perror [[
#define FOO BAR
]]
]=]

Is there no other solution that this for now?
