Hi Berry,
sorry for the late reply, I was pretty busy lately.
I didn't know about inline tasks, thanks for let me know. The idea is cool
but I think that regarding the use case I'm suggesting, they are a more or
less hackish workaround and not a proper solution. I'm saying this because:
1) They are kinda optional, they are not enabled by default. But this is
not too important.
2) They are oriented towards tasks. Clearly, my use case is not about tasks
but about more granularity in exporting. It's true that, as a side effect,
you can wrap some additional syntactical constructions into selectively
exportable chunks by considering them as tasks.
Now, the concept of inline task could be generalized and, if the
generalization is "general enough", maybe even enabled by default. But this
is overkilling for my specific interest, specially if I had to implements
something like that by myself. Instead, I could implement a more modest
proposal (no Swift reference intended).
Regards

Carlos
