[julia-users] Re: Struggling w macro

This is driving e crazy.  The following code works:

name = :bob

dump(:(module ($name) export bar; function bar() 3 end end))
@eval module ($name) export bar; function bar() 3 end end

println(bob.bar())

yet the "dump" appears identical to the malformed module in the earlier 
code:
