complex enough that one can use analogy to justify anything.
2. You cannot do anything behind a function call - the 'return'
discussed earlier, and async/await for another, i.e. operator
overloading cannot introduce control flow, cannot introduce variables
into the current scope, etc.
You can turn this:
BigInt(3) + 7;
Into something that is not 10.
You cannot do anything behind a macro. You cannot introduce new syntax.
Well, you could do:
@screwUp int foo(){ return 3+7; }
assert(foo()!=10);
