(At @edsko's request,) I moved the terminology page to the top, not specific to low-level bindings. I did not make any changes to the content of the file, so it should be trivial to resolve the merge conflict. 🙇 |
A first foray into recording terminology related to macros (and reparsing).

@dschrempf is this PR still in sync with the macro terminology you've been using? If not, do you have suggestions for updates? |

I think, in general, yes. I didn't use the words "Object-like macro" "Parsable macro", and "Macro invocation". Out of the top of my head, I think sometimes I used "Macro declaration" instead of "Macro definition". The difference between declaration and definition is blurred, in my opinion; and we use declaration much more often than definition, I feel. |
