This adds a giant missing piece of the language: proper function values!
It is lovely to now understand why early programming language designers
didn't implement these, but a joy to now reap the benefits of them. In
adding these, many other changes had to be made to get them to "fit"
correctly. This improved the code and fixed a number of bugs.
Unfortunately this touched many areas of the code, and since I was
learning how to do all of this for the first time, I've squashed most of
my work into a single commit. Some more information:
* This adds over 70 new tests to verify the new functionality.
* Functions, global variables, and classes can all be implemented
natively in mcl and built into core packages.
* A new compiler step called "Ordering" was added. It is called by the
SetScope step, and determines statement ordering and shadowing
precedence formally. It helped remove at least one bug and provided the
additional analysis required to properly capture variables when
implementing function generators and closures.
* The type unification code was improved to handle the new cases.
* Light copying of Node's allowed our function graphs to be more optimal
and share common vertices and edges. For example, if two different
closures capture a variable $x, they'll both use the same copy when
running the function, since the compiler can prove if they're identical.
* Some areas still need improvements, but this is ready for mainstream
testing and use!
This will build more accurate graphs, since we could have duplicated
vertex names for distinct vertices. This now builds the correct
topology, even if the labels are duplicated.
The graph of dependencies in golang is a DAG, and as such doesn't allow
cycles. Clean up this lib so that it eventually doesn't import our
resources module or anything else which might want to import it.
This patch makes adjacency private, and adds a generalized key store to
the graph struct.
This is required if we're going to have out of package resources. In
particular for third party packages, and also for if we decide to split
out each resource into a separate sub package.
