Description

To fully implement Hello World properly we need to finish all of macro expansion. Though we can hack a primitive implementation of println as an interim solution to help with added more useful test cases to progress other parts of the compiler.

Research direction

Start by examining the GCC Rust compiler's current macro-expansion implementation and the Hello World compilation path. The issue describes completing macro expansion, with a primitive println implementation as an interim aid; done would require fully implementing macro expansion and enabling useful Hello World test cases.
