Description
#pragma message will get a warning if the message is a macro-expansion (#define) that is not a constant string.

It would be nice if the #defined value could be another data type, like an int, that the string value could be taken from.
Steps to Reproduce:
#define Test 1

#pragma message (Test)
- this will give you a Ill-formed pragma

It would be cool if 1 could be cast to a "1" and expanded in the #pragma message.
