Hello nimmers,
I have created a [library](https://github.com/sumatoshi/w8crc) for calculating
crc's and encountered [some strange
behavior](https://github.com/sumatoshi/w8crc/blob/facf4f2956f5b5216d78dd6978377069dcd9c1ed/src/w8crc/algobitwise.nim#L187)
with const computations in the templates (note, rev16b and rev8b works as
expected!). I made a minimal example for you guys:
revxbits.nim
func rev32b*(b: uint32): uint32 = 0'u32
Run
api.nim
import revxbits
template crcBitwise*(data: string): uint32 =
const ri = static: 0xFF'u32.rev32b
#const ri = revxbits.rev32b(0xFF'u32) ## work!
0'u32
Run
main.nim
import api
# api.nim(4, 30) Error: undeclared field: 'rev32b' for type system.uint32
# [type declared in /x/nim-1.6.4/lib/system/basic_types.nim(11, 3)]
echo "123456789".crcBitwise()
Run
Is this a bug or a feature? 🤔
