The introduction of new syntax has made me think it is now
an
appropriate time to share a piece of what I'm working on.
Attached is
Presource, a tool for Lisp-like macro expansion.
Philosophically, this system works well if you don't believe
that the
fundamental meaning of a message should change across a
system; for
example, if you would resist using #size on a class
modelling a pair
of jeans to answer 36/40/etc because it would clash with
Object and
Collection's idea of what #size should mean, then why have a
problem
with unfettered transformation of particular messages, as
long as
those messages are particular enough?
Attached is a README, Presource.st, and Testsuite.st.

"Peta" is Greek for fifth; a petabyte is 10 to the
fifth power, as
well as fifth in line after kilo, mega, giga, and tera.
