Add tooling for `janet_def` to cjanet #129

Closed pepe closed 1 year ago

Probably similar to what we do with *cfun-list* for functions, which will be registered in the environment automatically in the module-entry.

Would you be in favor of such a change?

Yes, does make sense. Basically any boilerplate generation is worth considering adding to cjanet.

CJanet isn't really a proper language or frontend, rather it is a collection of functions and macros for C code generation, and there isn't any desire to prevent the "abstraction" from leaking through too much. It is more a better preprocessor rather than a custom to-C transpiler.

I am pleased you are saying your view on cjanet and its purpose. Especially as it is similar to what I have come to.

The second paragraph is also a good base for the description.

I will make PR with the janet_def addition and some essential Mendoza documentation.
