redefine pragma
---------------
Redefinition of template symbols with the same signature is allowed.
This can be made explicit with the `redefine` pragma:
```nim
template foo: int = 1
echo foo() # 1
template foo: int {.redefine.} = 2
echo foo() # 2
# warning: implicit redefinition of template
template foo: int = 3
```
This is mostly intended for macro generated code.
