Macro question, want to find the "expected identifier"

[Drakim]

static getExpectedType ():Null<Type>

Returns the type which is expected at the place the macro is called.

This affects usages such as var x:Int = macroCall(), where the expected type will be reported as Int.

Might return null if no specific type is expected or if the calling macro is not an expression-macro.

I need this thing, but instead of the type I wanna know the identifier, I want the "x" part rather than the ":Int" part. Is there a function that already does this, or is it possible to do with some clever macro pattern matching?

(the reason for this is because if the identifier already holds a value, I want to incorporate it into the macro call)

I've thrown together a quick macro over on github that works on the two simple examples in `Main.hx`, which is as far as I've experimented with, but should give you some ideas.
