A-macrosArea: All kinds of macros (custom derive, macro_rules!, proc macros, ..)Area: All kinds of macros (custom derive, macro_rules!, proc macros, ..)
Description
It would be nice to use consistent terminology for macros.
For example, in $a:b
, Macros Guide calls b
a "fragment specifier", Reference Manual calls it a "designator". Both are inscrutable, and looking at search engine hits "fragment specifier" seems to be a Rust coinage.
Dylan calls it "constraint", which seems reasonable to me. See a section on Dylan Macro System documentation.
