Can we use a variable inside a macro/equivalence class ? #244

Research the equivalence class transformer.

Questions:

Is it good to keep them in one class or break them into several classes ?

bryantrobbins commented 9 years ago

@shraddha-patel will be taking a look at this.

Design thoughts:

Want to allow use of existing variable values as inputs to macros in the EquivalenceClassTransformer
Need to be able to distinguish between literal values and variable names somehow (maybe $ ? )

This should not be baked in to the EquivalenceClassTransformer - should be its own entity useable with any transformer.

Also related to use of EL in general (longer-term).
