Check if input to macro is a vector

I would like to check if the input to a macro is an vector and raise an exception if it is not. Currently, I have come up with this. Is there an idiomatic way of doing this?



macro doarray(arr)
if in(:head, fieldnames(typeof(arr))) && arr.head == :vect
println("Do Something")
else
throw(ArgumentError("$(arr) should be a vector"))
end
end

    If you want to allow only [A, B, C, ...] like syntax then you have to look for :vect in head as you write as far as I know. However, you can construct a vector also using vcat like this [1;2;3] and this pattern will not cover this (but vcat also can produce something else than a vector so the case is messy here).

    Also take a look at Macrotools.jl. You can match against [a__].
