Right now the "private" command returns "Nothing" type. When used with a single (string) argument - it could return the local variable reference, allowing you to initialize local scoped variables like this:
private "_my" = [code];
Instead of current:
private "_my";
_my = [code];
My personal trick:
<i>
#define var(x) private #x; x
var(_my) = "test";
</i>
Expands to:
<i>private "_my"; _my = "test";</i>
@Deadfast: that's neat. Also, no impact on the runtime performance as this is a pre-processor. Nice, thanks for the tip!
Superceded by private keyword.. Also local already existed back then and could do exactly what was requested here.
@simast That does impact runtime performance. As you the Macro does exactly the same as private "_var";_var = "test"
