What has the function `expand` been renamed to?

New to Julia

I came across this old thread on literal_pow where the suggestion to introspect code is to use

julia> @eval @which $(expand(:(1^2)))
literal_pow(::Base.#^, x::Union{Complex{#s37} where #s37<:Union{Float32, Float64, Int16, Int32, Int64, Int8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, UInt8}, Float32, Float64, Int16, Int32, Int64, Int8, Rational{#s23} where #s23<:Union{Float32, Float64, Int16, Int32, Int64, Int8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, UInt8}, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, UInt8}, ::Type{Val{2}}) in Base at intfuncs.jl:218

However expand is not defined in Julia 1.2. Is there an equivalent function?

Meta.lower(@__MODULE__, ...) or Meta.@lower. The output has changed so what you had above won’t work anymore.
