Andrej Mitrovic:
It also steals a valid symbol name.
Someone has suggested to prefix it with a @.
E.g. there's tons of C code that
uses the symbol name "body", but I can't use this symbol
because it's
used in DBC. It's a keyword that's used in literally just one
feature, and it's annoying.
In the case discussed here I think the @unique will find another
usage.
Plus DBC code just looks ugly to me (at least with
asserts in the actual body I can add diagnostic messages), so I
don't see how "body" has made DBC better.
"body" seems not needed in DBC, I suggested to remove it.
But the little failure with body is not the same situation as the
one discussed here.
