allows a library solution to find declarations:
allows showing where a symbol is defined (works with all symbols) eg:
inspect resolveSymbol(`$`)
/Users/timothee/git_clone/nim/Nim_prs/tests/magics/tresolve_overloads.nim:134:35:
$ = closedSymChoice:
/Users/timothee/git_clone/nim/Nim_prs/lib/system/dollars.nim:10:1 proc
`$`(x: float): string {.magic: "FloatToStr", noSideEffect.}
/Users/timothee/git_clone/nim/Nim_prs/lib/system/dollars.nim:128:1 proc
`$`[T](x: seq[T]): string
Run
also works if you want to find where a particular overload is defined:
inspect resolveSymbol(newLit(true))
/Users/timothee/git_clone/nim/Nim_prs/tests/magics/tresolve_overloads.nim:151:27:
newLit = /Users/timothee/git_clone/nim/Nim_prs/lib/core/macros.nim:702:1 proc
newLit(b: bool): NimNode {.compileTime.}
Run
* finding all usages is also possible (nimfind for cmdline tool, but it's
very doable to do it as a library solution which has advantages)
