Why can't I define a macro within a macro and call it?

General Usage
1 
macro mm(T)
           quote
               macro kk()
                   :(println("A")) |> esc
               end
               @kk
           end |> esc
       end

julia> @macroexpand @mm Int
ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: @kk not defined

Because the macro needed to be defined in order for the code to be lowered. Therefore, your resulting code must be evaluated first before it can be lowered and evaluated and that’s impossible.

Why do you want to do this.
