It's only a macro system when you generate code in unexpected/unobvious places with it. This is more like inspect.getsource(), but going straight to the AST.

This would effectively be a macro system. I thought
your position on macros was that they're uncool?

If you've changed your mind about this, that's cool
too -- just checking.
