You may take a look at newly created "frabjous" project by Kevin Smith

Here it is:

First, it interfaces directly with the compiler and handles all of the
low-level details around iterating over the AST and other parse
transform muck. Frabjous knows all about multi-pass transforms and
provides a persistent state mechanism for parse transformers so they
can remember where they've been and what they're doing.
