[L Mihalkovic]

well there is no macro system, and for the moment a clear statement from chris that this is not on the table in the short term. the code in the example looked like run-of-the-mill swift, except for the “…". so that leaves us with swift looking code that would be executed by the compiler, but with nothing particular to tell which parts to and which not. just a thought.
