Macros with the pattern:

    #define BOO ( expression )

are now translated to:

    auto BOO()() { return expression; }

and are available for importing!

The interesting thing here is `expression` does not need to be translated to D. It's still a C expression, and has C semantics. D templates with C semantics just falls out of the way ImportC was implemented.

Not yet. It just lays the groundwork for that.

Give it a try, it should work now!
