Verilog compiler directives look a lot like C preprocessor directives. One
exception is that a C macro is expanded unconditionally, while a verilog
macro requires the preceding `. So verilog macro references and compiler
directives are identical in syntax. It follows that a verilog compiler
directive can occur wherever a macro reference can occur, including within
a line, etc.
