- Remove all the hungrarian notation in variables. Currently leaving
the format of rednet messages for now, while I work out whether this
counts as part of the public API or not.
- Fix the "repeat" program failing with broadcast packets. This was
introduced in #900, but I don't think anybody noticed. Will be more
relevant when #955 is implemented though.
Allows us to run multiple "computers" in parallel and send messages
betwene them. I don't think this counts as another test framework, but
it's sure silly.
- Define an expect(index, actual_value, types...) helper function which
takes an argument index, value and list of permissable types and
ensures the value is of one of those types.
If not, it will produce an error message with the expected and actual
type, as well as the argument number and (if available) the function
name.
- Expose expect in the global scope as _G["~expect"], hopefully making
it clear it is internal.
- Replace most manual type checks with this helper method.
- Write tests to ensure this argument validation works as expected
Also fix a couple of bugs exposed by this refactor and the subsequent
tests:
- Make rednet checks a little more strict - rednet.close(false) is no
longer valid.
- Error when attempting to redirect the terminal to itself
(term.redirect(term)).
