Split at-pack and at-unpack into a separate package

These two macros seem to get a good bit of usage without the rest. @tpapp is such a user, I think. Thoughts? Package name UnPack.jl.

tpapp commented

I support the idea and like the name. This package has some dependencies which I guess are not necessary for these two macros.

mauro3 commented

Here it is https://github.com/mauro3/UnPack.jl

Any other thoughts, anyone?

I love how lean the package is.

mauro3 commented

Too lean? Allmost leftpad...

tpapp commented

😄 If you are referring to the left-pad debacle for npm, I don't think that is a concern for Julia. But if you don't want to factor it out to another package, I respect that decision too.

For me, @unpack serves the same purpose as common-lisp:with-slots. It is indeed a very simple macro, but very useful.

Yes, the npm one, but that was just tongue in cheek. I think it makes sense here too. I'll go ahead and register it in the next few days.

Thanks for splitting this out! I hadn't noticed UnPack.jl existed until Pkg.update() showed + UnPack v1.0.0

Cool.

I guess I forgot to close this...
