Hi, community.

Could I get the module or scope of the calller of macro in Julia 1.0?

Just like this:

```julia
module SomeModule
macro f()
    S = caller_module.eval(:S)
    fields = fieldnames(S)
   # do something with fields
end

```

```julia
module OtherModule
import SomeModule: @f 
struct S 
    ...
end
function fn(...)
   let staged_analysis = @f
      # do stuff 
  end
end

```

I do know that I can return an escaped macro and it works well in runtime(after macro application and call function), however, I might not be able to be use metadata of types and such stuffs when compiling callers of macro(when applying macro).

Any helps, please?

Sorry for the double-post by mistakes. The first one is [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-get-current-module-scope-in-macro/13310).

I cannot delete this duplicated one, and thanks a lot if anyone helps me with it.
