Help for the lazy

General Usage
1

I have several matrices x1, ..., xn what’s a way to create a named tuple (x1=x1, ..., xn=xn) without having to type all components one by one?
For example:

x1 = rand(2, 2)
x2 = rand(2, 2)
x3 = rand(2, 2)

lazyhelper(x1, x2, x3)
# returns (x1=x1, x2=x2, x3=x3)
2

Just:
(; x1, x2, x3) (needs Julia 1.6)

If you want to automate it for a large number of variables, you’ll either need to define a macro or create an expression and eval it.

I have a package AddToField.jl that makes the creation of a named tuple easier as well

@addnt begin 
    @add m1 = ...
    @add m2 = f(m1)
end
