Are there any plans to make a proper preprocessor like #define in C?

No.

The unit concept renders macros often useless.

I’m not saying this is good programming practice or anything but I just had a 
really annoying copy and paste chore on some temporary code which I could have 
easily accomplished if I had #define like in C. It’s such a trivial thing to 
add I wonder why it was never included in Pascal.

Such quick and dirty temp. code can be often easily created by the macro 
functionality of the use editor.
