Okay. Okay, yeah!

So with one little change (okay, one large change I wrote over two days), I think my mini-LISP is now set up to be effortlessly converted into an assembler:

https://codeberg.org/mcc/nameless-experimental-lisp/src/commit/e0d31e5886b1d5b4c395b9ebab0df8750ba0c959/doc/language.md#preprocessing

What I'm gonna do is let the reader build the AST, run the transformations of the preprocessor macros, then yank the data structure away and instead of the LISP interpreter pass it as input to some other program, decided by command-line flag, which in this case will treat it as assembly language.

# Simple compile-time code exec
# Expect: 4

discard !: set 'x 4

print !x ln

The way I've described that it might not be clear in your head. That's okay. It's perfectly clear in my head and I'll be the one using it
