Authorize complete patterns as function args.
This is mainly a syntactic trick/sugar, but it's been pretty annoying
  to me for a while that we can't simply pattern-match/destructure
  single-variant constructors directly from the args list. A classic
  example is when writing property tests:

  ```ak
  test foo(params via both(bytearray(), int())) {
    let (bytes, ix) = params
    ...
  }
  ```

  Now can be replaced simply with:

  ```
  test foo((bytes, ix) via both(bytearray(), int())) {
    ...
  }
  ```

  If feels natural, especially coming from the JavaScript, Haskell or
  Rust worlds and is mostly convenient. Behind the scene, the compiler
  does nothing more than re-writing the AST as the first form, with
  pre-generated arg names. Then, we fully rely on the existing
  type-checking capabilities and thus, works in a seamless way as if we
  were just pattern matching inline.

Bump 'is_validator_param' up from 'ArgName' to '...Arg'
There's no reasons for this to be a property of only ArgName::Named to begin with. And now, with the extra indirection introduced for arg_name, it may leads to subtle issues when patterns args are used in validators.

Introduce 'ArgBy' to allow defining function arg not only by name. 2024-06-07 11:17:16 +02:00

feat: support doc comments for functions args and validator params
- Add support to the formatter for these doc comments
- Add a new field to `Arg` `doc: Option<String>`
- Don't attach docs immediately after typechecking a module
  - instead we should do it on demand in docs, build, and lsp
  - the check command doesn't need to have any docs attached
  - doing it more lazily defers the computation until later making
    typechecking feedback a bit faster
- Add support for function arg and validator param docs in
  `attach_module_docs` methods
- Update some snapshots
- Add put_doc to Arg

rename: 'r' → 'expression' & 'seq_r' → 'sequence'
Better readability.
