IIRC you want `@your_macro +` to generate/refer to the `.+` function.
You can't just do `.$name` (or whatever the name is) since `.+` is a
symbol by itself (try `parse(".+")` and see yourself) and is not
really `.` plus `+`. The expression splicing also happens at ast level
and not at text level for (hopefully) obvious reason. So what you need
to do is to generate the `.+` symbol if `+` is passed in. How you
would do this depend on what generality you want, Assuming you will
only need this for operators that has a corresponding element wise
versing you can simply do in your macro
dname = symbol(".$name")
and splice this symbol (possibly with escape) when you need the .+ operator
