AFAIK the tree-sitter parser parses basically already-preprocessed C.
It's wickedly hard to parse meaningfully notyet-preprocessed C with
something based on a BNF grammar.
So my guess is that this is going to be a "wont fix".

There might be a way to handle it (basically by using the CPP
definitions to extend the BNF grammar on the fly), but it seems
difficult to include it into a parser based on compiling the BNF to
a state machine :-(
