Method

[escape_tag] creates an instance of a type. Requires a parameter as either the name of the type (::tag) or as a single-quoted string ('tag').

Further, appending the tag name with appropriate values in parentheses to the type will initialize the type with those values.

escape_tag(::tag)
escape_tag('tag')
escape_tag(::tag)(Value)
escape_tag('tag')(Value)

Create an [array] by referencing its ::tag as a string.

Code

escape_tag('array')('a','b','c')

Result

array(a, b, c)
