Description

The following code does not compile under VS2017 using `/experimental:preprocessor` option:

```cpp
#include
#include

#define FOO (1,())
#define BAR BOOST_PP_ARRAY_ELEM(0, FOO)

#define HOGE_1(x) x
#define HOGE_2(x) HOGE_1(x)
#define HOGE() HOGE_2(BAR)
#define PUYO_1(x) #x
#define PUYO_2(x) PUYO_1(x)
#define PUYO() PUYO_2(BAR)

#include BAR //C2006
#include HOGE() //C2006

int main(){
std::cout << PUYO() << std::endl;
return 0;
}
```
Both `#include BAR` and `#include HOGE()` directives result in C2006 error, yet, `PUYO` macro could successfully get the string literal formed by `BAR`.
Switching to vs2019 eliminates this issue.
