Topic: Harmonize delimited identifiers with FHIRPath
Alexander Zautke (Dec 03 2019 at 20:12):
Currently the mapping language defines that it's possible to create a delimited identifier using backticks or double quotes, whereas FHIRPath as far as I understand only allows backticks. For the .NET implementation, we would be in favour of harmonizing both approaches as closely as possible (we try share most of the parser code between FHIRPath and the mapping language). Would there anyone else be in favour of removing double quotes for delimited identifiers?
Bryn Rhodes (Dec 05 2019 at 04:17):
I would second that notion, yes. They were removed from FHIRPath because they were so easily confused with string literals, which led to hard to understand parser errors. Disallowing them prevents that mistake from getting past the lexer.
