" Ultimately, I consider this a stop-gap."
Yes. What we are basically doing is writing a meta language on top of
stellar. In this case we are using that to make up for the meta language
itself not supporting multi-line input ( and stellar's support for that as well
)
A question would be, why would this transform not just be transformed into
a match statement instead of adding a new function?
How much of this pain is from not using the UI for editing? Would a ui
editor that let you put in a multi line match make this pain better?
