Add String.quote: String #206

isn't this going to be heavily domain specific?

stacycurl commented 9 years ago

Do you mean different domains would want to quote in different ways ?

I probably won't need it, instead I'm going to create a new project to define a 'Homoiconic' type class.

val someHardToRecreateValue: Blah = ... val asCode: String = Homoiconic[Blah].show(someHardToRecreateValue)

assert(eval(asCode) == someHardToRecreateValue)

This is so I can paste the value of 'asCode' into some unit test.

implicit val homoiconicString: Homoiconic[String] = new Homoiconic[String] { def show(value: String): String = "\"" + value + "\"" }

// shapeless voodoo to create instances for case classes using structural recursion to leaves.
