The new
quote!
macro doesn't make use of quote or syn parsing internally, and uses codegened lookup tables for keywords and punctuations. It's also not implemented as amacro_rules!
as previously.This accomplishes the following things:
$
is a reserved punctuation inmacro_rules!
, so convertingquote!
into a proc macro allows us to use it.quote!
produces an instance ofQuote<'a>
that implementsToTokens
, which is a stored environment that can perform the specified quoting. This avoids copying a token stream excessively when nesting quoting.
