we erase it toerasedValue[T]
.This has 2 advantages, first, the term does not lose its type, and second, the
term is still marked as erased. The second implies that if there is a bug in
the compiler or a macro where the term might end outside an erased context, the
code will not compiler. Currently, the code compiles and then throws when
calling the spurious
