This module implements the `with` macro for easy function chaining. See https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/193 and https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/192 for details leading to this particular design.

Since version 1.2.

# Macros

    macro with(arg: typed; calls: varargs[untyped]): untyped

  This macro provides the chaining of function calls. It does so by patching every call in `calls` to use `arg` as the first argument. This evaluates `arg` multiple times!

  Examples:

      var x = "yay"
      with x:
        add "abc"
        add "efg"
      doAssert x == "yayabcefg"
      var a = 44
      with a:
        +=4
        -=5
      doAssert a == 43
