6663 :: how to change the `op` argument for macros.quote

  This might be a simple question, but I cant seem to figure out how to change the functionality of the quote macro

  I am just trying to make it use a different operator instead of "``" but I cant think of how to write the statement

  #normally it is written like this
  var str:string = "hello World!"
  quote do:
    echo `str`
  Run

  im just trying to make it do something like this

  var str:string = "hello World!"
  quote do:
    echo @str@
  Run

  You can't change it, because `` is a syntax feature. If you don't want to put str in and just use the variable name "str" then you can do:

  var str = "hello World!"
  quote do:
    echo `"str"`
  # will become: echo str
  Run

  Um, no, it's simply a bug ... did you read the documentation for quote? See semQuoteAst in semExprs.nim ... if n.len == 3: expectString(c, n[1]) should be if n.len == 3: expectString(c, n[2])
