EponymKeywordSyntax
Important
On Julia 1.5 eponym keyword syntax is supported by the julia language directly. So this package should not be needed on newer julia versions.
Usage
This package provides the @eponym macro, which infers the name of a keyword argument
from the name of its value. This is best explained by example:
julia> using EponymKeywordSyntax
julia> f(args...; kw...) = (args=args, kw=kw)
f (generic function with 1 method)
julia> oh_dear_this_is_long_I_dont_want_to_write_it_twice=3
3
julia> f(oh_dear_this_is_long_I_dont_want_to_write_it_twice=oh_dear_this_is_long_I_dont_want_to_write_it_twice) == @eponym f(;oh_dear_this_is_long_I_dont_want_to_write_it_twice)
true
julia> a=1; b=2;
2
julia> f(a=a, b=b) == @eponym f(;a,b)
true
julia> (a=a, b=b) == @eponym (;a, b)
true
julia> (a=a, b=10) == @eponym (;a, b=10)
true
julia> f(1, a=a, b=b) == @eponym f(1;a, b)
