Description
Try hovering `` in the example below:
```haxe
macro function f(e) {
trace(e);
return macro null;
}
function main() {
f();
}
```
and observe weird expr structure:
```
src/Main.hx:2: {pos: #pos(src/Main.hx:7: characters 4-12), expr: EMeta({name: :markup, params: [], pos: #pos(src/Main.hx:7: characters 4-5)},{pos: #pos(src/Main.hx:7: characters 4-12), expr: EDisplay({pos: #pos(src/Main.hx:7: characters 4-12), expr: EConst(<...>)},DKMarked)})}
```
Basically, `EDisplay` is inserted between `@:markup` and `EConst(Cstring))`, which is weird and awkward to process, since markup literals are supposed to always be `@:markup "literal"`. I beleve it should always be `EDisplay(@:markup "literal")` instead.
