That's an interesting approach, but it's very atypical and generally not the
right way to write macros.
Please, don't try to build a string with the nim source that you want in the
end: usually you iterate, transform and produce the abstract syntax tree:
NimNode objects. That's exactly where quote comes in
let node = quote:
# some nim code
# you can add existing nodes here with `existingNode`
`y`.`z` = `other`
Run
This is the first way to build a NimNode: by using something similar to
templates(have you used templates)?
The second way is manually:
nnkStmtList.newTree(
nnkAsng.newTree(
..
))
Run
Usually you'd want to use quote, but sometimes it's not possible to build a
node with it, so then you use the manual way.
