static[T] argument is not substituted properly in .emit pragma

[endragor]

Sample:

proc printStr(s: static[string]) =
  {.emit: "puts(`s`->data);" .}
printStr("hello static")

# sample.cpp:52:7: error: use of undeclared identifier 's0'
#         puts(s0->data);
#              ^

Well we could produce an error, but it's not supported. static parameters disappear at runtime.

Would it be possible to emit a reference to the produced global variable in such case? Error is fine for me, there is a simple workaround:

{.emit:"""/*INCLUDESECTION*/
#include <stdio.h>
""".}
proc printStr(s: static[string]) =
  let sCopy = s
  {.emit: "puts(`sCopy`->data);" .}
printStr("hello static")

Although would be nice to get rid of copyString here. shallowCopy doesn't help.
