String mixins sure are powerful, but I can't get ird of a feeling of
'cheating' when using them. Maybe with some kind of string
interpolation they could be made more palatable to some?
There's little doubt that it's the part of the language which needs the
most attention in the long term. But the way forward is not at all
obvious. So it's been deferred.
I'm not clear on how one is supposed to go about making the equivalent
of hygienic macros using just string mixins and CTFE.
You can create a trial-and-error gensym function with compile time
introspection and CTFE/templates. :o) It's very elegant. CTFE solves all
your AST macro use cases.
Wrong. The correct answer is magic.
Yes, and it has to be that way. The AST macros which people have been
talking about are magical.
