MacroInfo, MacroDirective and ModuleMacro objects should persist until the
Preprocessor object is destroyed. You can hold onto them until that happens.

MacroDefinition has value semantics, so if you want to persist a
MacroDefinition* it's up to you to store the MacroDefinition object
somewhere. But you should probably just be passing it around by value.
