The following are the outcomes:
- Predef.nonExist is fully supported by both the Haskell and the C runtimes
- Predef.BIND is now an internal compiler defined token. For now
it behaves just as usual for the Haskell runtime, i.e. it generates &+.
However, the special treatment will let us to handle it properly in
the C runtime.
- This required a major change in the PGF format since both
nonExist and BIND may appear inside 'pre' and this was not supported
before.
Most of the explicit uses of ByteStrings were eliminated by using identS,
identS = identC . BS.pack
which was found in GF.Grammar.CF and moved to GF.Infra.Ident. The function
prefixIdent :: String -> Ident -> Ident
allowed one additional import of ByteString to be eliminated. The functions
isArgIdent :: Ident -> Bool
getArgIndex :: Ident -> Maybe Int
were needed to eliminate explicit pattern matching on Ident from two modules.
