5457 :: What does the ``.inject.`` pragma do? Where is it defined?

  I see examples in the manual using the {.inject.} pragma but the behavior of this pragma doesn't seem to be defined in the manual (or I missed it). Can anyone provide a doc link or a brief explanation? Thanks!

  Explained in https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#templates-hygiene-in-templates

  Any variables declared in a template annotated with {.inject.} will be accessible in the scope where the template is called, effectively injecting the variable from the template into the location of the call.
