  Seems like the obvious solution here would be a macro, I would think. I wonder why that wasn't tried.

    A macro isn't a function and can't be used like a function. Sure, doing the work at compile-time instead of run-time will be much more efficient at run-time, but you're won by moving the goal posts.

    Macros aren’t first class, so there’s that. Not that it would matter in this case, but it’s something to keep in mind.

  I’m a huge fan of Chris’s blog. I read almost everything he posts, it’s interesting stuff and he’s a solid writer, too.
