[nem-en] Macro proposal

[Kamil Skalski]

Ah, so actually <|  would be equivalent to function application... just like

f (1,a, _) ( fun () {

}  )

e.g.

public static @<| (f : 'a -> 'b, obj : 'a) : 'b  {
   f (obj)
}

So, right, this should be possible too. What macro could do here is to
transform the right hand side from expression to lambda, so you could
write

f (1,a) <|  3

and it would be transformed into

f (1, a, fun () { 3 })

which probably would bring us even closer to Ruby blocks ;)

f(1,a) <|   {
   foo ()
}
