pokemon.macro2.scala

sealed trait Pokemon {
  def name: String
  def elemental: String
}

// I want a macro like this.
// (The type names may need to need to be in strings.)
// (I'm not entirely sure that quasiquote macros can do this magic.)
enum[Pokemon](
  Bulbasaur -> ("フシギダネ", "Grass"),
  Ivysaur -> ("フシギソウ", "Grass"),
  Venusaur -> ("フシギバナ", "Grass"),
  Charmeleon -> ("リザード", "Fire"),
  Charizard -> ("リザードン", "Fire"),
  Squirtle -> ("ゼニガメ", "Water"),
  Charmander -> ("ヒトカゲ", "Fire")
)

// Generates the equivalent of:

abstract class PokemonBase(val name: String, val elemental: String) extends Pokemon

object Bulbasaur extends PokemonBase("フシギダネ", "Grass")
object Ivysaur extends PokemonBase("フシギソウ", "Grass")
object Venusaur extends PokemonBase("フシギバナ", "Grass")
object Charmeleon extends PokemonBase("リザード", "Fire")
object Charizard extends PokemonBase("リザードン", "Fire")
object Squirtle extends PokemonBase("ゼニガメ", "Water")
object Charmander extends PokemonBase("ヒトカゲ", "Fire")

I like the idea but i'd make the macro name "ADT" instead of "enum" so as not to confuse / mislead users.
