Not knowing enough on how a compiler work, is it just treating all
keyword as string of terminals? Then replace all variables based on
the declaration, through assignment or passing into a function/method/

add-on logic is required to determine the replacement of the string
intelligently?

There is no short answer to this (except "No, it is a bit more
