Looks like a good improvement thank you. @clabby wdyt |

Don't think this works as intended- maybe something like this?
#define macro MAIN() = {
__tablesize(CODE_TABLE) // [table_size]
__tablestart(CODE_TABLE) // [table_start, table_size]
returndatasize // [0x00, table_start, table_size]
codecopy // []
msize returndatasize // [0x00, 0x20]
return // []
}Also wondering if we should use tricks like returndatasize here- idea is to have easily readable (er, as easily readible as we can manage) code here.

Yeah my bad, replace mstore with codecopy in my example and it'll work (compiled and tested this time), your example would pad the return with 0-bytes but it works too.
When it comes to tricks like returndatasize I feel like they should at least be in the docs somewhere but I agree that this might not be the best place. My thought was that if someone sees that and actually thinks to question it they'll learn as they research / ask about it.
