Hey @Yardanico , I am using your nim-strenc for a project I am working on and ran in to a bit of an issue. I'll try an be as detailed as I can but the error is outlined here:

The code that I am running is just some simple C code within Nim using the {.emit.} pragma. This snippet of code works fine on it's own and does what it needs in a smaller test.nim file. But when I try and compile it into the larger project where I am importing strenc it fails to compile.

...
{.emit: """
#include <windows.h>

int setWallpaper() 
{
    const wchar_t *path = L"C:\\TEMP\\wallpaper.jpg";
    SystemParametersInfoW(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, (void*)path, SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE);
    return 0;
}
""".}

proc setWallpaper(): int {.importc: "setWallpaper", nodecl.} =
  var result = setWallpaper()
...

I believe it is failing to compile due to the following code within strenc.nim:

# Use a term-rewriting macro to change all string literals
macro encrypt*{s}(s: string{lit}): untyped =
  var encodedStr = gkkaekgaEE(estring($s), encodedCounter)

  template genStuff(str, counter: untyped): untyped = 
    {.noRewrite.}:
      gkkaekgaEE(estring(`str`), `counter`)
  
  result = getAst(genStuff(encodedStr, encodedCounter))
  encodedCounter = (encodedCounter *% 16777619) and 0x7FFFFFFF

It seems like it is trying to also encrypt the following string within the C code. Is it possible to not have it encrypt anything within a pragma or something? Or whatever makes the most sense to do in this case?

const wchar_t *path = L"C:\\TEMP\\wallpaper.jpg";
