Description
Hey everyone :D
I saw that Bucklescript has support for condition compilation but it's a preprocessor fed into -pp, which means we can't use it in conjuction with Reason (since refmt is also a preprocessor).
How could we support static if statement like Bucklescript does?
It would help the cross platform story a lot in my opinion!
