Macro.expand/2 - why only one step?
iex(25)> quote do
...(25)> 1 |> rem(2) |> div(4)
...(25)> end |>
...(25)> Macro.expand(__ENV__) |>
...(25)> Macro.to_string
"div(1 |> rem(2), 4)"
Could you please tell me why this doesn’t expand further? Even further calls of Macro.expand/2 will not do that.
Is this to do with how iex works…?
Thank you!

This function does not traverse the AST, only the root node is expanded.
