05/25/2021, 9:35 PMah thanks. i remembered seeing similar articles a while back but lost track. i'll give it a look and see how much still applies. 🙂

05/25/2021, 9:36 PMultimately i think a compiler plugin is what i want but it doesn't sound like that API will stabilize until 1.6ish

05/25/2021, 10:04 PMomg. i keep forgetting that's an option. i think last time i saw it was pre-done-baking and I thought "call me when it's done" and promptly forgot it. thanks. i think this will likely be the winner.

it doesn’t sound like that API will stabilize until 1.6ishTechnically there’s no compiler plugin API right now, you’re using compiler internals which are subject to change in any minor release. But we are planning to provide a public (and somewhat more stable) plugin API. Not in 1.6 though.
