Simple, just a little tedious: make syntax (can be ugly as fuck, doesn't matter) that won't clash with current (and preferably future, for less refactoring) crystal syntax so that crystal...

It's now implemented to the stage where macros can be coded in Onyx (and more powerfully than in Crystal already, since asymmetry in generated 'if's etc. in meta-conditional macro-bodies is...

Pretty much sums it up :-) Someone uses `this_is_my_awesome_identifier` - you see `this-is-my-awesome-identifier` - the compiler sees the exact same thing - it understands both of you :-) Soon there...

I'm considering introducing a literal, "non hygienic" form of macro into Onyx also. It would substitute the placeholder everywhere at _parse-time_, and as such be pretty much as "search n...
