How do unquote sigils?

The quote/unquote has nothing to do with how the final generated code looks like. They’re just means of generating AST/injecting given AST in the resulting AST. You’d need to figure out the correct AST you want to return for sourceror:

iex(1)> quote do: ~D[2024-12-12]
{:sigil_D, [delimiter: "[", context: Elixir, imports: [{2, Kernel}]],
 [{:<<>>, [], ["2024-12-12"]}, []]}

Depending on what input you actually have you can build that AST for the return value.

iex(1)> quote do: unquote(~D[2025-01-07])
~D[2025-01-07]

This here is basically a noop. It does/did nothing.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Yeah, in the real code there was a lot more stuff in the quote.
