We can assign a function to a variable: julia> f = sin sin (generic function with 10 methods) julia> f(1) 0.8414709848078965 Can we do something similar with a macro? For example, I want to do something like this: julia> using BenchmarkTools julia> f = btime julia> @f sin(1)

Macros are just functions with a funny name

@eval const $(Symbol("@f")) = $(Symbol("@btime"))
