+/** Annotation used inside a quote to give a custom name to a definition.
+ *  The `name` argument must be a literal String.
+ *
+ *  Usage:
+ *  ```scala
+ *  def let(name: String)(value: Expr[Int])(in: Expr[Int] => Expr[Int]): Expr[Int] = '{
+ *    @showName(${Expr(name)})
+ *    val x = $value

+ *  }
+ *  ```
+ *  then using it in
+ *  ```scala
+ *  let("myVal")('{4})(x => '{ $x + 1}).show
+ *  ```
+ *  will retuns the code
+ *  ```scala
+ *  val myVal = 4
+ *  myVal + 1
