It is not possible to specify a pragma for the proc that returns `lent T`

[cooldome]

This example compiles

type
  MyField = object
    b: seq[string]

  MyObject = object
    f: MyField

proc getX(x: MyObject): lent MyField = 
  x.f

let a = MyObject()
echo a.getX.b.len

This one doesn't compile (the only difference is pragma):

type
  MyField = object
    b: seq[string]

  MyObject = object
    f: MyField

proc getX(x: MyObject): lent MyField {.inline.} = 
  x.f

let a = MyObject()
echo a.getX.b.len

Compilation fails with error: Error: type expected

This works:

type
  MyField = object
    b: seq[string]

  MyObject = object
    f: MyField

proc getX(x: MyObject): lent(MyField) {.inline.} =
  x.f

let a = MyObject()
echo a.getX.b.len

I guess this happens because lent isn't implemented as a keyword.

as glupf has pointed out, it is possible.

Meh, still a parser quirk that I need to look into.
