Alternatives

Current boundary:

  • the def-based meta family (macros, alternatives, defaults, templates) is planned for a future release; none of it is part of the current compiler surface
  • everything below describes intended design, not current behavior

Alternatives are intended to provide shorter source spellings. They will not alias or override the compiler-owned memory sigils. The exact future grammar and supported replacement targets remain open until the meta family is implemented.
