And how does that address this issue?

  Procedural macros and macros are different things; nom is the “normal” macros (“macros by example”). The initial procedural macro release is in 6.5 weeks. Nom has worked on stable for years.

    I know procedural macros are different in how they work and more flexible, but the problem remains the same: you can't really look at any macro definition and go i know how to use this. A vector of tokens is not the syntax a programmer can parse without the grammar definition that the macro implements. It's still foreign unless it is well-written to match existing language constructs.

      Sure; to be clear, I'm trying to point out what I think your parent is getting at. I don't necessarily agree.

  Oh, I thought you were talking about the issues as a macro writer. Now that I reread it, I think you're talking about as a macro consumer. Is that right?
