Description
(Filing this for consideration later in a polish phase before 1.0; I don't expect this is a high priority until then since it's additive and I haven't heard anyone asking for it.)
#276 pointed out that it might be nice for the inline alias syntax to be co-expressive with out-of-line aliases and, as part of what this syntax would look like, that we don't necessarily need explicit export
or outer
tokens to discriminate the two cases (b/c they are lexically distinct).
Thus, a complete set of inline alias syntaxes could be:
(sort 1 2) ~> (alias outer 1 2 (sort))
(sort $C 2) ~> (alias outer $C 2 (sort))
(sort 1 $f) ~> (alias outer 1 $f (sort))
(sort $f) ~> (alias outer $f (sort))
(sort $C "e") ~> (alias export $C "e" (sort))
(sort 1 "e") ~> (alias export 1 "e" (sort))
