~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A macro processor is defined by a four-tuple, consisting of
``(func, kind, version, additional_names)``
``(func, kind, version, additional_names)``:
* ``func`` must be a callable that takes ``len(additional_names)+1`` arguments, all of which are abstract syntax trees, and returns a single abstract syntax tree.
* ``kind`` must be one of the following:
* ``macros.STMT_MACRO`` A statement macro where the body of the macro is indented. This is the only form allowed to have additional names.
* ``macros.SIBLING_MACRO`` A statement macro where the body of the macro is the next statement is the same block. The following statement is moved into the macro as its body.
* ``macros.EXPR_MACRO`` An expression macro.
* ``macros.STMT_MACRO``: A statement macro where the body of the macro is indented. This is the only form allowed to have additional names.
* ``macros.SIBLING_MACRO``: A statement macro where the body of the macro is the next statement in the same block. The following statement is moved into the macro as its body.
* ``macros.EXPR_MACRO``: An expression macro.
* ``version`` is used to track versions of macros, so that generated bytecodes can be correctly cached. It must be an integer.
* ``additional_names`` are the names of the additional parts of the macro, and must be a tuple of strings.

To support this, a new ast node, called ``stmt_expr``, that combines a statement and expression will be added.
In addition, macro processors will need a means to express control flow or side-effecting code, that produces a value.
A new AST node called ``stmt_expr`` will be added, combining a statement and an expression.
This new ast node will be a subtype of ``expr``, but include a statement to allow side effects.
It will be compiled to bytecode by compiling the statement, then compiling the value.
