mixin + block expression: works in Generics, not in "normal" proc

[mratsim]

While trying to find an alternative to be able to slice with _ like a[1, _, 0] without having to define my own _ I stumbled upon the following:

History:

• In procs with generic return type, identifier validity is checked before macro replacement Generics proc + macros: identifier resolution happens before macros #6387
• There is a request to disallow the _ identifier except for tuple destructuring It's possible to use a single underscore as an enum value identifier (0.17.3) #7171

So I tried to inject mixin _ in a block expression before the identifier resolution happen.
Unfortunately this works in generic procs but not in normal proc.

Test case:

import macros

type CustomSeq*[T] = object
  data*: seq[T]

macro `[]`*[T](s: CustomSeq[T], args: varargs[untyped]): untyped =
  ## The end goal is to replace the joker "_" by something else
  result = newIntLitNode(10)


proc foo1(): CustomSeq[int] =
  result.data.newSeq(10)
  # Doesn't work
  echo ((block:
            # mixin _ # invalid expression
            result[_]
    ))

echo foo1()

proc foo2[T](): CustomSeq[T] =
  result.data.newSeq(10)
  # works fine with generic return type
  echo ((block:
            mixin _ # Works
            result[_]
    ))

echo foo2[int]()

Tested in playground, no longer seems to be an issue.

It still doesn't work when uncomment mixin _ on Nim 1.4.4, gives Error: invalid expression: mixin _

import std/macros

type CustomSeq*[T] = object
  data*: seq[T]

macro `[]`*[T](s: CustomSeq[T], args: varargs[untyped]): untyped =
  ## The end goal is to replace the joker "_" by something else
  result = newIntLitNode(10)


proc foo1(): CustomSeq[int] =
  result.data.newSeq(10)
  # Doesn't work
  echo ((block:
            mixin _ # invalid expression
            result[_]
    ))

echo foo1()

You're not supposed to be able to use mixin in non-generic procs, no?

this appears to be fixed in devel but it needs a test case
