Thank you Alexei for clarifying.
I did not see that you could use the macro in a pattern match like that.
The following is also possible if you want to avoid using a guard:
defmodule B do
import Record
defrecord(:bb, a: 1)
def set(record = bb(), i) do
bb(record, a: i)
end
end
The `macro` does provide all the convenience you need.
The only matters outstanding are:
1. Usage of `__MODULE__` as the `record` `atom`(without losing the
macro convenience)
2. Having the syntax resemble that of defstruct more notation wise, e.g.
`~B{a: i}` including in terms of updating
Those would make it easier to pick up `defrecord` with all its nuances but
are certainly not critical.
`defrecord` functionality wise is feature complete so I withdraw my
proposal.
