Description

We'll want to take some representative proc macro(s) to compile to wasm, and set up a benchmark that times how long it takes to expand some representative inputs.

This would be a necessary first step toward beginning to optimize the Watt runtime.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find representative proc macros, compile them to Wasm using the Watt runtime, and set up a benchmarking framework to measure expansion time.
