No. Transformations work in route script only.

Only for functions which support PV interpolation. That's most
functions nowadays, but not some of the older ones from OpenSER <= 1.2.

It will if SOME_DEF was defined via #!subst.

Not if SOME_PREPROC_DEF is a #!defined constant, no. But it will work if
it's a #!subst, as is also the case if it appears in strong constants.

#!subst "/SOME_PREPROC_DEF/xyz/"

		$var(x) = 'abc123';
		xlog("L_INFO", "$_s($ru;SOME_PREPROC_DEF=$var(x))\n");
