[fasmg] New method of preprocessing included file

I've found a very simple implementation of a small feature that allows to enable a preprocessor for an included file without the usual trickery.

Based on version j6ia, the patch looks like this:

Code:

        mov     [edx+SymbolTree_Root.chain],eax

        mov     [ebx+SourceEntry.local_namespace],eax

        pop     esi
        mov     edx,_stack_limit_exceeded
        call    register_error
        jmp     instruction_assembled

and it enables an additional argument of INCLUDE directive, which is a command that is going to be executed just before processing the first line of the included file:

Code:

include 'hello.asm', display 'The file has been read, time to process it...'

It may not look like much, but it does in fact allow to enable a line interceptor just in time to start catching all the lines of the included file:

Code:

macro preprocess! line&
        display `line,10
end macro

include 'hello.asm', mvmacro ?,preprocess

The command after comma may also itself be an invocation of a macro, if more complex preparation is necessary. It sees __FILE__ variable as already reflecting the included file, and __LINE__ is 0.

If you find it useful, please let me know. The implementation is so cheap, that I may consider adding it as an official feature, although it's one that may look a bit confusing unless you understand the specific problem that it solves.
