Okay, looks like I continue to have problems.
julia> macro modcreate(name, block)
Expr(:module, false, esc(name::Symbol), Expr(:begin))
for ex in block.args
eval(esc(name), ex)
end
end
julia> @modcreate foobar begin
arf = 6
barf = 6
end
ERROR: type: eval: expected Module, got Expr
I feel like this should work. Am I completely off or is there some dumb
mistake I'm making?
