Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When writing Nautilus grammar, I've found it's annoying to use a separate file or just have to embed it in my Rust code in a way that doesn't benefit from Rust's typing system.
Describe the solution you'd like
I want there to be some sort of macro that makes it easy to make a Nautilus grammar, is checked at compile time, and just allows for more synergy in my code.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I've looked around for a macro that does something similar but I haven't found anything. The only alternatives are ones I don't really like working with, e.g. NautilusContext::from_file
or hand rolling a vector in my code using NautilusContext::with_rules
Additional context
I made a small macro crate that solves the exact problem I describe. I don't have a lot of experience making macros, but this seemed like a nice place to start. I would appreciate some feedback if this seems like a good feature.
The macro makes a Vec<[(&str,&[u8])]> which is what's needed by NautilusContext::with_rules
. Using this macro with NautilusContext::with_rules
allows for compile time checked Nautilus grammar definitions.
I figured making a PoC before directly submitting a PR would be better.
