This is a script called m5.awk that I randomly found after reading a paper about it on the ACM website. The paper’s worth reading too but the script is just a piece of work. Commented to the brim, clean, and most importantly, useful as hell. it could be a replacement for m4. It allows you to embed AWK in text files, and besides that, it allows you to use several preprocessng features that it offers via macros. Give it a try.
