# EponymKeywordSyntax

# Important: This package is obsolete

On Julia 1.5 and above eponym keyword syntax is [supported by the julia language directly](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/34331).

Older Julia versions can get it from Compat.jl. So EponymKeywordSyntax is not needed anymore.

# Usage

This package provides the `@eponym` macro, which infers the name of a keyword argument

from the name of its value. This is best explained by example:

```julia

julia> using EponymKeywordSyntax

julia> f(args...; kw...) = (args=args, kw=kw)

f (generic function with 1 method)

julia> oh_dear_this_is_long_I_dont_want_to_write_it_twice=3

3

julia> f(oh_dear_this_is_long_I_dont_want_to_write_it_twice=oh_dear_this_is_long_I_dont_want_to_write_it_twice) == @eponym f(;oh_dear_this_is_long_I_dont_want_to_write_it_twice)

true

julia> a=1; b=2;

2

julia> f(a=a, b=b) == @eponym f(;a,b)

true

julia> (a=a, b=b) == @eponym (;a, b)

true

julia> (a=a, b=10) == @eponym (;a, b=10)

true

julia> f(1, a=a, b=b) == @eponym f(1;a, b)

true

```
