I have an example of nesting macros that makes me think I’m confused about how hygiene works. Here’s a minimal example: macro inner(e) println("In @inner") dump(e) @assert isa(e, Expr) && e.head == :$ esc(e.args[1]) end macro outer(e) println("In @outer") dump(e) quote…

You do need some escaping at each level, @outer2 and @outer3 are different ways you might think to do it. But @outer3 doesn’t work, because it passes @inner an expression which doesn’t have the $ nakedly visible. There is a helpful issue about this: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/37691 . …
