proc parseExpr*(s: string) : expr {.magic: "ParseExprToAst".}
## Compiles the passed string to its AST representation
## Expects a single expression
proc parseStmt*(s: string) : stmt {.magic: "ParseStmtToAst".}
## Compiles the passed string to its AST representation
## Expects one or more statements
proc getAst*(macroOrTemplate: expr): expr {.magic: "ExpandMacroToAst".}
## Obtains the AST nodes returned from a macro or template invocation
## example:
## macro FooMacro() =
## var ast = getAst(BarTemplate())
Handling of the node.toYaml magic moved to the evaluation engine.

Nimrod Compiler
===========================================================
This is the **Nimrod Compiler**. Nimrod is a new statically typed, imperative
programming language, that supports procedural, functional, object oriented and
generic programming styles while remaining simple and efficient. A special
feature that Nimrod inherited from Lisp is that Nimrod's abstract syntax tree
(AST) is part of the specification - this allows a powerful macro system which
can be used to create domain specific languages.
*Nimrod* is a compiled, garbage-collected systems programming language
which has an excellent productivity/performance ratio. Nimrod's design
focuses on the 3E: efficiency, expressiveness, elegance (in the order of
priority).
See the file ``install.txt`` for installation instructions. See the file
``doc/intern.txt`` for the internal documentation for developers.
