I bumped into this today actually. It's certainly a nice idea.

I see a lot of noise about said AST macros...
I understand the idea, but I have no idea how it might look in practice.
Are there any working proposals?
I find myself using mixins waaaay too much. They're just too convenient,
and enable lots of things that just aren't possible any other way. But I
always feel really dirty! It can be so tedious dealing with all the string
mess.
