    Other than macro calls within the macro_text of `define, the spec doesn't specify whether compiler directives may appear within other components of compiler directive commands:

    - non macro-call compiler directives within `define's macro_text. Ex: `define XYZ `line 1 "test.v" 2
    - within compiler directive arguments: Ex: `line `ABC
    - within `define/macro-call argument list: Ex: `define ABC(`XYZ)
    - including the indentifier and macro_text of `define (maybe even the argument list). Ex:
    `define XYZ ABC def
    `define `XYZ
    - as the compiler directive keyword: Ex: ``ABC

    There may be other cases. I hope most of these aren't allowed.
