[julia-users] Why variables passed to this macro are referencing to the module?

[Diego Javier Zea]

I defined the macro @iteratelist 
<https://github.com/diegozea/PairwiseListMatrices.jl/blob/master/src/macros.jl#L1-L27>
 
in PairwiseListMatrices. I used a similar macro in function definitions 
<https://github.com/diegozea/PairwiseListMatrices.jl/blob/master/src/pairwiselistmatrix.jl#L745>
 
inside that package without problems. However, the same code doesn't work 
for function definitions outside that package, like in the example below. 
Why was *l* expanded as *PairwiseListMatrices.l *? Thanks!

*Code: *

using PairwiseListMatrices

PLM = PairwiseListMatrix([1, 2, 3], false)

function test(plm)
       l = []
       @iteratelist plm Base.push!(l, list[k])
       l
end

function test_macroexpand(plm)
       l = []
       println( macroexpand( quote @iteratelist plm Base.push!(l, list[k]) 
end))
       l
end

test(PLM)

test_macroexpand(PLM)
