annotate based on other values using inline dataviewjs

[mikolajkniejski]

Basically, I want to do something like that:

propA:: 12
propB:: 10
propC :: $= dv.current().propA * dv.current().propB

#959 seems related

I'm not sure I will ever support inline DataviewJS for this, though I may support regular Dataview expressions in the future; this problem is actually unsolvable in the general case and is tricky even in more specific cases to implement correctly.

[blacksmithgu]

Trivial example - say I do something like this:

field1:: = field2
field2:: = field1

Tracking cycles in definitions becomes very challenging (and also very challenging to show errors for).

Oh hmm, I see what you mean there. I take it this put #959 out of scope then?

[blacksmithgu]

#959 uses Dataview expressions, which I can implement a limited version of, it's just very hard! I don't expect to make any progress on it soon unless another interested party takes a stab at implementing it.
