Nameof operator

$

Some time later, I’m not super excited anymore about this solution. My nameof operator, it always needs a type annotation like nameof((o: Domain.Firebase.order) => o.isProcessed) and I don’t find it very ergonomic.

I’m wondering if ppx would not be convenient to generate string constants of my fields instead.

%something
type foo = {
   x: int,
   y: string,
   bar: array<string>
}

and generate

// Not sure about casing, but you get the idea
module FooKeys = {
   let X = "x"
   let Y = "y"
   let BAR = "bar"
}

Would such a PPX thing be possible in ReScript? I would guess, AST wise it is not that hard to construct.
