New syntax for string mixins

Hi,

I'm one of Nemerle developers.

You are deeply mistaken!
I'd advise to study the Nemerle macro-system.

You missed: pattern matching, quasi-quotation, running of fully functional Nemerle
code in compile time, access to compiler API in macros and IntelliSense support.

"syntax highlighting" ? :)
We have full IntelliSense support: syntax highlighting, code completion, macro
expansion (in tooltips).
We simply use the Nemerle compiler to achive that.
