proposed patch

Attached simple patch helps in case the constant isn't being used inside of a
macro. It's implemented very similarly to how macros parsing is implemented,
and macros can't be nested.  But it's very handy to be able to do something
like this:

@__syscall_compat_gate(@const("__NR_open"), @const("__NR_compat_open"))

So I think, if we want to go this "parser-only" way, we'll need to process
constants separately before processing macros.

Note that the problem of the previous implementation was of a corner case
nature I think. Whole the testsuite passed with it except of the mentioned
pretty-printer case.

Having said all that, I am wondering which of the two approaches is the right
one.
