foreach and scope(...) lowerings are essentially AST
operations. Are there other D features you would implement as
AST processing, maybe a link to an earlier post ?
"synchronized" is another that I think would be easy to do with AST
macros. Perhaps "with". It's probably not worth replacing existing
language features with macros just for the sake of it. But for future
features AST macros could perhaps be used instead.
How close is Rust currently to offering flexible AST
manipulation for lowerings/attributes/macros, does anyone
know ?
I have no idea. I haven't looked at Rust in this area.
