Guys,
I have a questions about macro-based syntax extensions.
1. Why syntax extension's keywords can not contain numeric symbols?
Such code will not compile:
<nemerle>
macro test_1 (x)
syntax ("test_1", x)
{
WriteLine($"x: $x");
<[ ]>
}
</nemerle>
2. Can I use in syntax non-keyword at first position?
Following code will compile successful. But, it's usage generates an error.
<nemerle>
macro test_a (x)
syntax ("test_a", x)
{
WriteLine($"x: $x");
<[ ]>
}
macro test_b (x, l)
syntax (Optional(l, ":"), "test_b", x)
{
WriteLine($"x: $x");
WriteLine($"l: $l");
<[ ]>
}
</nemerle>
<nemerle>
test_a blablabla;
label: test_b blablabla; // error: parse error near keyword
`test_b': unexpected keyword in expression context
</nemerle>
