Summary
This PR updates the CGP proc macros to desugar field constructs into their symbolic forms, such as:
symbol!("abc")is desugared toι<'a', ι<'b', ι<'c', ε>>>instead ofChar<'a', Char<'b', Char<'c', Nil>>>.Product![a, b, c]is desugard toπ<a, π<b, π<c, ε>>>instead ofCons<a, Cons<b, Cons<c, Nil>>>This change is aimed to simplify the inspection of expanded macro code, so that the desugared field constructs can be more readable inside the macro expansion.
Rename of
symbol!toSymbol!Furthermore, the use of
symbol!are replaced withSymbol!(first letter capitalized). This is to align better with the case convention that the code generated fromSymbol!is a type, not a value.Nevertheless, the original
symbol!macro is kept in the prelude as an alias toSymbol!for backward compatibility.
