The example is a proof-of-concept logging library, allowing you to define
lexically-scoped environments where certain logging attributes are applied
automatically to all logging statements.
fixes tmacro1 (use of `bindSym` inside static blocks)
This allows you to pass a template or a macro to another macro
which can then inspect the implementation of the former template/macro
using `getImpl`.
Since templates can be freely redefined, this allows you to treat
their symbols as compile-time variables that have lexical scope.
A motivating PoC example for a logging library taking advantage of
this will be provided in the next commit.
Implementation details:
* The name of a template or a macro will be consider a symbol if
the template/macro requires parameters
* For parameterless templates/macros, you can use `bindSym`, which
was extended to also work outside of compile-time procs.
* Add column number to instantiation info
Instantiation info left out column number for no good reason. This adds
it in as the third element of the tuple.
* Fix test that failed and added change to changelog
An assertion test failed because it was declaring a type that was
expected to be populated by instantiationInfo with the old signature.
Also added the changes to the changelog as it is a breaking change.
