Thanks to Michael's example, I did this other version of the macro:
julia> type Foo{T<:Number}
x::Vector{T}
end
julia> macro foo_op(op)
quote
dot_op = symbol(".$($op)")
docstr = "`$($op)` also works for `Foo` types!"
function Base.$op(a::Foo, b::Foo)
Foo(dot_op(a.x, b.x))
end
@doc Markdown.parse(docstr) Base.$op
Base.$op
end
end
julia> @foo_op ^
^ (generic function with 46 methods)
help?> ^
search: ^ .^
^(x, y)
Exponentiation operator.
^(s, n)
Repeat n times the string s. The repeat function is an alias to this
operator.
julia> "Test "^3
"Test Test Test "
^ also works for Foo types!
