It's also insanely kludgy and ugly. Bleh.
If all a macro did was translate a scoped normal symbol to a mixin (or
other macro) statement, would this take care of the ugliness? (would also
be an insanely simple solution)
i.e.
macro doit(x, y, z) mixin("x" ~ "y" ~ "z"); // allow easy syntax for
quoting parameters, since mixins are all about stringification.
doit(a, b, c) => mixin("abc");
Another example, logging:
class Logger
{
...
macro logError(msg) mixin("{if(this.level >= ERROR)
logMessage(this.level.Error, msg);}");
}
usage:
log.logError("bad error occurred with object: " ~
expensiveObjectStringification(obj));
No more lazy parameters, no more stupid delegates :)
