As the title suggests, I wonder what the reasoning is behind only allowing “single character sigils”.
The thought came to me while looking at the documentation of the ~U
sigil for UTC DateTime
s and I thought that this would read so much nicer if it was ~UTC[...]
.
Does anybody know why Elixir chose to only allow single character sigils? Is there a technical reason for this, or was this a deliberate design decision? If yes, what’s the reasoning behind this decision?
