  This has to be a simple thing I am missing, but for some reason I am no longer able to import std/sequtils:

  
  tmp % cat foo.nim
  import std/sequtils
  tmp % nim c foo.nim
  Hint: used config file '/usr/local/Cellar/nim/1.6.10/nim/config/nim.cfg' [Conf]
  Hint: used config file '/usr/local/Cellar/nim/1.6.10/nim/config/config.nims' [Conf]
  ............................................................
  /usr/local/Cellar/nim/1.6.10/nim/lib/pure/collections/sequtils.nim(786, 15) Error: expected: ':', but got: 'result'
  Run

  What could it be?

  Wow, I have found it.

  I have looked at the file in my disk and it is different to the one in GitHub for v1.6.10.

  I have never opened that file, but while doing an AoC exercise I renamed a symbol using this VS Code extension and the rename modified sequtils.nim!

  I wonder if that line being part of a template may mess up with the rename feature.

  Are you sure it was done via the extension? It lists "Rename support" as a TODO feature. If it is through the extension, or another Nim aware extension, then it's likely done through nimsuggest. If so then please raise an issue in the nimsuggest issue tracker.

  While nimsuggest does not do any renamings itself, it does list all occurances of a symbol and so might be to blame indeed.
