Feature Spec

I want to use indexed args in wingc macros

/**
 * Adds or updates an entry in a Map object with a specified key and a value.
 * @macro $self$[$args[0]$]=$args[1]$
 */
public set(key: string, value: T1): void {
  key;
  value;
  throw new Error("Macro");
}

Use Cases

This is currently achievable by doing a inline function with macros like so:

   /**
	* @macro ((obj, args) => { obj[args[0]] = args[1]; })($self$, [$args$])
   **/

This is a good idea, though I feel like brackets might makes the macro syntax seem more expression-based or smart than it really is? Not sure...

I wonder if we should try and collect more use cases before making the macro language too complex, given it's possible that macros could become part of the language formally at some point. I feel like they deserve some care given that they're an explicit leak into our JS target code
