It's not possible to unquote code to be part of an Ident

[Thunkar]

Aim

Using the unquote operator as part of identifiers

Expected Behavior

Maybe using an escape character or a dedicated method to make this possible?

Bug

let name: Quoted = func.name();
let struct_name_based_on_fn_name = quote { $name_suffix }; // this doesn't work, since the var name is now name_suffix
let struct_name_based_on_fn_name = name.append(quote {_suffix}); // this is parsed as separate tokens

Those examples should be allowed somehow

Workaround

Yes

Workaround Description

As a hacky workaround, I implemented the following builtin for the Quoted struct:

// fn join_tokens(another: Quoted) -> Quoted
fn quoted_join_tokens(arguments: Vec<(Value, Location)>, location: Location) -> IResult<Value> {
    let (self_value, other_value) = check_two_arguments(arguments, location)?;

    let self_quoted = get_quoted(self_value)?;
    let other_quoted = get_quoted(other_value)?;

    let result = [&self_quoted[..], &other_quoted[..]]
        .concat()
        .iter()
        .map(|token| token.to_string())
        .collect::<Vec<_>>()
        .join("");

    let (tokens, _) = Lexer::lex(result.as_str());

    let tokens: Vec<_> = tokens.0.iter().map(|token| token.clone().into_token()).collect();

    Ok(Value::Quoted(Rc::new(tokens[0..tokens.len() - 1].to_vec())))
}
