Hello,

I frequently use@threads in my code, especially in personal packages. However, I often face tricky-to-debug errors when code is run "behind" a@threads macro. Because of that, I wanted to create a sort of overload or conditional version of@threads, something like @conditionalThreads(cond::Bool, loop).

I came up with this solution:
` using Base.Threads

macro Conditionalthreads(cond, loop)
if loop.head != :for error("@Conditionalthreads must be applied to a for loop.")
end quote
if $(esc(cond))@threads $(esc(loop))
else $(esc(loop))
end end
` end

@Conditionalthreads !isinteractive() for i in 1:5 println("i = ", i)
` end

However, I get this error:

ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: @threads requires aforloop expressionStacktrace:
[1] var"@threads"(__source__::LineNumberNode, __module__::Module, args::Vararg{Any}) @ Base.Threads ./threadingconstructs.jl:400

`in expression starting at /home/francois.roux/OPTILE/readnetcdf/testmaybe_thread.jl:9

While I understand the error (there is some kind of verification inside@threads), I do not know how to fix this problem. :(

If anyone has an idea...
