Is that your intent? Why overload them with unnecessary info? Why not only talk about what they need to know to write portable code -- phase separation requires putting non-internally-defined macro helpers in separate libraries; library expressions are for initializing a library and should not cause visible side-effects nor depend on external mutable state. They can learn about the implementation-specific alternatives if/when they're advanced macro users. -- : Derick ----------------------------------------------------------------
