While the old behavior was reasonable, it is not spelled out anywhere
in the documentation and was incidental rather than intentional.
Parameters of the same name of the function should probably take
precedence on name collision, following the principle of least surprise.
Comparison between different bracket and normal tuples
will now take into account the delimiter type. This solves strange
non-locality issues in the compiler due to this false equality, and is
more consistent with Janet's otherwise strong equality philosophy.
buffer/blit is difficult to use, and while buffer/push is the easiet
buffer manipulation function to use it only appends to the buffer.
buffer/push-at lets users manipulate buffers at any index - useful
for buffers used as an in-memory databases, for example.
Added underlying buffer support for buffer instances that cannot
reallocated underlying memory - useful for (small) memory mapped
files and other FFI utilties.
Doesn't really impart (much) file systtem information when used, and
can be used for a lot of things where file functions are used to process
in a stream.
The sandboxing API is meant to make janet a bit more attractive
for certain application embedding use cases. The sandboxing API
puts limits on what system resources the interpreter can access.
Upvalues are stored in the symbol slots structure as well, but
since they are always live, we repurpose the death_pc field to
refer to the environment index that we want to look at at runtime.
Set an internal flag that disables garbage collection on such
buffers. For all currently correct usage, this should have no effect,
and will fix use cases where buffers are initialized this way and then
passed to the interpreter.
