I did a code that uses custom literals to allow indexing arrays with ordinals (1st, 2nd, 3rd), all at compile time. Additionally _st works only with 1, _nd only with 2, _rd only with 3. Zero and negative numbers are also not supported and fail compilation.

What’s the purpose of this? If you want to access an index in an array, isn’t using integers easier?
And if you want string literals, you can make a map and access the key that way as well
Does it matter? OP had an itch. He scratched it, and shared it with the world.
The reason could be “I wonder if I can?”. That’s good enough.
“Does it matter?”
That was the point of my question, thanks for reiterating it
The point of your question seems to be “never try things a for fun”
Curmudgeonry sucks all the joy out of anything.
There’s no purpose really. It was more of “wonder if I can” and also nice way to learn custom literals.
