Templates

Templates are supposed to be mostly used for operator overloading. They are glorified functions, hence used with pro or fun instead of def.

For example here is how the != is defined:

fun '!='(a, b: int): bol = { return .not(.eq(a, b)) }

.assert( 5 != 4 )

or define $ to return the string version of an object (careful, it is object$ and not $object, the latest is a macro, not a template):

pro (file)'$': str = { return "somestring" }

.echo( file$ )
