10392 :: Open file at compile-time [JS backend]

  I'm trying open file in macro, but I got exception:

  
  template/generic instantiation of `some` from here
  Error: cannot 'importc' variable at compile time; fopen
  Run

  My Nim code:

  import macros
  
  
  macro some(): untyped =
    var f = open("some.txt")
    echo f.readAll()
    f.close()
  
  some()
  Run
