4122 :: nimvm echos do not appear

  The "compiling..." string does not appear when compiling this program:

  when nimvm:
    echo "compiling..."
  else:
    echo "running..."
  Run

  you need to put the echo in a static block so it's run at compile time:

  when nimvm:
    static:
      echo "compiling..."
  else:
    echo "running..."
  Run

  So this is expected nimvm behavior? I thought it would operate like static. This works as I expect:

  static:
    echo "compiling"
  echo "running"
  Run

  i would think that nimvm being true means that the vm is running that section of code. static blocks don't tell you anything about your code except that it run at compile time instead of normal run time.
