Defines not supported inside guard expressions

[helllamer]

It looks like, defines is not properly substituded in guard expressions.

-module(ar_test_controller, [Req]).

-define(is_ok(X), is_list(X)).

test('GET', [X]) when ?is_ok(X) ->
    ok.

rebar compile cause following error:

ERROR: pre_compile failed while processing /home/user/chicagoboss/ar:

Guard expressions for case clauses produces same errors.

Thanks. I am aware of the problem. Right now macros are compiled to funs (which aren't allowed in guards) but this behavior should change.
