if you put a macro in (for example) after a return statement or inside an unreachable block, feather will give you an "unreachable code" message
switch (current_day) {
case 1:
return;
#macro macro_name "¯\_(ツ)_/¯";
}
like obviously you shouldn't ever actually do this, but it's also not "unreachable" since macros aren't really "code"
talked with zach a bit and it seems like the best thing to do about this would be to have a broad rule that says "only define macros in the top level of code flies, functions, or object events" or something, because if you hide them anywhere else you're kind of asking for trouble
