This is an initial implementation of the mgmt language. It is a
declarative (immutable) functional, reactive, domain specific
programming language. It is intended to be a language that is:
* safe
* powerful
* easy to reason about
With these properties, we hope this language, and the mgmt engine will
allow you to model the real-time systems that you'd like to automate.
This also includes a number of other associated changes. Sorry for the
large size of this patch.
This allows the implementer of the GAPI to specify three parameters for
every Next message sent on the channel. The Fast parameter tells the
agent if it should do the pause quickly or if it should finish the
sequence. A quick pause means that it will cause a pause immediately
after the currently running resources finish, where as a slow (default)
pause will allow the wave of execution to finish. This is usually
preferred in scenarios where complex graphs are used where we want each
step to complete. The Exit parameter tells the engine to exit, and the
Err parameter tells the engine that an error occurred.
These are helper functions to merge in existing graphs into a main graph
with or without adding an edge relationship between a vertex and the new
graph. These are particularly useful if using mgmt as a lib to break
apart units of work into functions that create sub graphs, which are
then added to the main graph when they're returned.
