## This module implements the ``with`` macro for easy
## function chaining. See https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/193
## and https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/192 for details leading to this
## particular design.
##
## **Since** version 1.2.
import macros, private / underscored_calls
macro with*(arg: typed; calls: varargs[untyped]): untyped =
## This macro provides the `chaining`:idx: of function calls.
## It does so by patching every call in `calls` to
## use `arg` as the first argument.
## **This evaluates `arg` multiple times!**
runnableExamples:
var x = "yay"
with x:
add "abc"
add "efg"
doAssert x == "yayabcefg"
var a = 44
with a:
+= 4
-= 5
doAssert a == 43
result = newNimNode(nnkStmtList, arg)
