The PR branch had merge conflicts with `devel` due to a major compiler
refactoring that extracted type definitions from `compiler/ast.nim` into
a new `compiler/astdef.nim` file.
## Changes
- Resolved conflict in `compiler/ast.nim` by accepting `devel`'s
refactored structure
- Merged 763 commits from `devel` branch (commit range:
`ce6a345..b3273e7`)
- Preserved original PR changes removing deprecated symbols from
`lib/core/macros.nim`
The core PR functionality (removal of deprecated macros API since
v0.18.1) remains intact while incorporating the upstream AST
refactoring.
