The main trick here was transforming Assignment
to contain `Vec<UntypedPattern, Option<Annotation>>`
in a field called patterns. This then meant that I
could remove the `pattern` and `annotation` field
from `Assignment`. The parser handles `=` and `<-`
just fine because in the future `=` with multi
patterns will mean some kind of optimization on tuples.
But, since we don't have that optimization yet, when
someone uses multi patterns with an `=` there will be an
error returned from the type checker right where `infer_seq`
looks for `backpassing`. From there the rest of the work
was in `Project::backpassing` where I only needed to rework
some things to work with a list of patterns instead of just one.
The 3rd kind of assignment kind (Bind) is gone and now reflected through a boolean parameter. Note that this parameter is completely erased by the type-checker so that the rest of the pipeline (i.e. code-generation) doesn't have to make any assumption. They simply can't see a backpassing let or expect.
Note that the formatter rewrite parens-block sequences as curly-block
sequences anyway. Albeit weird looking syntax, they are valid
nonetheless.
I also clarified a bit the hints and description of the
'illegal::return' error as it would mistakenly say 'function' instead
of 'block'.
- 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

Bumped into this randomly. We do correctly parse escape sequence, but
the format would simply but the unescaped string back on save. Now it
properly re-escapes strings before flushing them back. I also removed
the escape sequence for 'backspace' and 'new page' form feed as I
don't see any use case for those in an Aiken program really...
We do not actually every parse negative values in there, as a negative value is a combination of a 'Negate' and 'UInt' expression.
However, for patterns and constant, it'll be simpler to parse whole Int values as there's no ambiguity with arithmetic operations
there. To avoid confusion of having some 'Int' constructors containing only non-negative values, and some being on the whole range,
I've renamed the constructor to 'UInt' to make this more obvious.
This was a bit more tricky than anticipated but played out nicely in
the end. Now we have one holistic way of parsing todos and errors
instead of it being duplicated between when/clause and sequence. The
error/todo parser has been moved up to the expression part rather than
being managed when parsing sequences. Not sure what motivated that to
begin with.
Fixes#621.
