`local varname = value` results in `varname` being inaccessible in
the next REPL input. This is often unintended and can lead to confusing
behaviour. We produce a warning when this occurs.
This functions the same as shell.run, but does not tokenise the
arguments. This allows us to pass command line arguments through to
another program without having to re-quote them.
Closes#417
- Lint references to unknown fields of modules, excluding the keys and
colours modules. This caught several silly errors in our stub files,
but nothing else.
- Lint on using unknown globals. This highlighted a couple of really
silly mistakes. Fixes#427.
- Add documentation for fs.attributes, fs.getCapacity and pocket, as
they were not defined before.

- I'm excluding pocket computers, as they have such a tiny screen I'm
not sure the screen estate is worth it.
Pocket computers /generally/ aren't people's starter machine, so I
think this is fine.
- Prune the motd list, and try to make them a little shorter. I think
this list is more of the interesting ones. We can modify this list in
the future, as we get more feedback.[^1]
- Also fix paint/edit not adding an extension when they should. This
was caused by the settings rewrite, as the explicitly provided
default shadowed the one provided by bios.lua.
[^1]: ~5 months ago I asked for some feedback about enabling motds by
default. I only got something constructive back today >_>.
- The store is now split into two sections:
- A list of possible options, with some metadata about them.
- A list of values which have been changed.
- settings.define can be used to register a new option. We have
migrated all existing options over to use it. This can be used to
define a default value, description, and a type the setting must have
(such as `string` or `boolean).
- settings.{set,unset,clear,load,store} operate using this value list.
This means that only values which have been changed are stored to
disk.
Furthermore, clearing/unsetting will reset to the /default/ value,
rather than removing entirely.
- The set program will now display descriptions.
- settings.{load,save} now default to `.settings` if no path is given.
This is relatively unoptimised right now, but should be efficient enough
for most practical applications.
- Add textutils.json_null. This will be serialized into a literal
`null`. When deserializing, and parse_null is true, this will be
returned instead of a nil.
- Add textutils.unserializeJSON (and textutils.unserializeJSON). This
is a standard compliant JSON parser (hopefully).
- Passing in nbt_style to textutils.unserializeJSON will handle
stringified NBT (no quotes around object keys, numeric suffices). We
don't currently support byte/long/int arrays - something to add in
a future commit.
- Remove stub for table.pack/table.unpack.
- Remove Lua 5.3 bitlib stub. We're not on 5.3, there's no
point emulating it.
- Change peripheral.call to correctly adjust the error level. This is a
terrible hack, but I believe the only good option.
It'd be good to remove load as well, but it's a little more complex due
to our injecting of _ENV.
Closes#363
It hasn't been http_enable for yonks - slightly worried I didn't notice
this earlier.
Also don't refer to ComputerCraft.cfg - the name has changed several
times across versions, so let's leave it ambiguous.
This adds documentation comments to many of CC's Lua APIs, and
a couple of the Java ones, through the use of stubs. We then
export these to HTML using illuaminate [1] and upload them to our
documentation site [2].
Uploads currently occur on pushes to master and any release/tag. The
site is entirely static - there is no way to switch between versions,
etc... but hopefully we can improve this in the future.

- Add a cc.pretty module, which provides a Wadler style pretty printer [1].
- The cc.pretty.pretty function converts an arbitrary object into a
pretty-printed document. This can then be printed to the screen with
cc.pretty.{write, print} or converted to a string with cc.pretty.render.
- Convert the Lua REPL to use the pretty printer rather than
textutils.serialise.

GPS requests are now sent and received on CHANNEL_GPS by default
instead. This means it should not be possible to distinguish
computers (and thus locate them) via their GPS requests.
"exit" now has a custom __tostring method, which prints an explanation
message. This is very similar to how Python achives the same
functionality:
lua> exit
Call exit() to exit
lua> exit()
> Actually leaves the REPL
We now use illuaminate[1]'s linting facilities to check the rom and
bios.lua for a couple of common bugs and other problems.
Right now this doesn't detect any especially important bugs, though it
has caught lots of small things (unused variables, some noisy code). In
the future, the linter will grow in scope and features, which should
allow us to be stricter and catch most issues.
As a fun aside, we started off with ~150 bugs, and illuaminate was able
to fix all but 30 of them, which is pretty neat.
