Description

In .bs files, if I try to use some defined symbol in manifest
bs_const=someFlag=false

And use it in my bs script

 #if someFlag
#end if

it says Referenced #const does not exist. Only if the symbol is defined in the bs script it would work fine.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using a .bs file, a manifest containing bs_const=someFlag=false, and a conditional reference to someFlag; compare it with a script-defined symbol. Done means the manifest-defined symbol is recognized during conditional compilation without requiring a duplicate definition in the script.
