How to create a macro for creating a symbol in Julia -

i trying create string literal macro in julia create symbol, s"x" same :x. not work:

julia> macro s_str(p) symbol(p) end julia> s'x' error: s not defined julia> s"x" error: x not defined

the reason macro hygiene. can either

macro s_str(p) quote symbol($p) end end

which easy read, or more complicated equivalent.

macro s_str(p) esc(:(symbol($p))) end
