That's because in "C" it's preprocessed before the compiler sees it.
Run your javascript through the preprocessor.
If that's too hard, then hide it, make it automatic, like it is in C. It's
a function of the hosting environment, not the language.

Because this is done at EXECUTE time, and prevents you from writing a JS
compiler EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO.
This stuff has to exist OUTSIDE the eval loop. Putting it IN the eval loop
would prevent Javascript from being usable as anything but a scripting
language, ever, and it's too good for that.
There's stuff above here
