Sigils & Structs in Mix Configuration

[jon...@maennchen.ch]

Is it possible to load custom Structs / Sigils into a Mix configuration?

We'd like to offer a configuration option for the library quantum.

For runtime configuration a struct and also a sigil exists to allow easy configuration of cronjobs.

Example run every 7 minutes:

~e[*/7]

Example run every 2 seconds in in every second minute (e => supports seconds):

~e[*/2 */2]e

We however can't import our structs and sigils into the mix configuration.

Is there any way to achieve the same behaviour in the mix configuration?

This is a classic chicken an egg problem - the configuration can affect how the thing is compiled, but to provide the sigil/struct you need to compile it first.

There was some talk about separating compile-time and run-time configuration, which would help here. But I don't think it ever got anywhere.
