Is this possible? I think there is no way to access such file level settings in a procedure macro.

Any further thoughts on this, @sharksforarms?
Perhaps a .conf file with global settings?

This would be better suited in another library using deku. For example, another proc-macro crate which annotates struct/enum fields with deku attributes

Could you show me an example of such a crate/project please?

The following is an example of using deku attributes in another proc-macro library. If that is what you are asking.

@constfold Any thoughts on #225 (comment) ? Does an attribute named ctx_nested make sense?

Hi @sharksforarms & @wcampbell0x2a, check these out.
nom's declarative parser seems to be catching up.

nom-derive-impl/src/config.rs
Overriding the default endianness

This will cut my boilerplate noticeably.

I'm still not sure how I'd like to approach this, if at all. Have you considered writing your own proc-macro to accomplish this?

I'll try and give you an example when I have time to create one.

Thank you. As I had mentioned, I'm a noob at programming, barely capable of using this library.
It'll take me a long long time to get comfortable enough to work on proc-macros.

The approach taken by nom-derive seems straightforward (to a user), no?
