Eh, my memory cells is a failure, a C preprocessor in Lua is 
probably more like a 40KB stripped binary chunk. But it's under 
20KB without the #if* conditional syntax and expression parsing. 
There is quite a lot to implement...

If you look around, things like say, FFI dynamic code generation 
that works on standard Lua isn't very common. Those of us who 
normally use these things gratis should not hold our breaths 
waiting for it... :-) Perhaps those who really want it can try 
putting out a bounty for it.
