[nem-en] Debugging macros again

Hi all,

 

The most sexiest feature of Nemerle for me is it's macro subsystem. And
having such great VS add-in in place I'm near  applying my first Nemerle
solution to the production world.

BUT: A situation with debugging macros (speaking more precisely the main
problem is  the code generated by them) is terrible for now.

 

My feeling about this is that may be it make sense to introduce some hints
(like these are using in LISP:
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/unix/gnu-info/elisp_16.html#SEC181) to
make the code generated by macros more adopted for the human beings? :-)

 

Because it seems not so trivial to support correct error messages by
compiler without introducing new ones in the macro itself as well.  Vlad for
instance also had such an experience.

 

Thanks,

Andrei
