Because we use an amalgated build, feature
test macros should be set in a single file that
is included before any other headers, and is placed
at the top of the amalgamated build.
True top level unquote currently requires basically double compilation
as it currently stands. Also, implementing such double compilation
looses all source mapping information. This is a compromise
implementation that makes it clear that this works differently than
a true top-level unquote.
This makes the names of the opcodes match their implied functionality.
We also rename the C functions to match the opcodes and source level
functionality.
This should be friendlier to most users. It does, however, mean
we lose range information. However, range information could be
recovered by re-parsing, as janet's grammar is simple enough to do this.
This allows better stacktraces when manually intercepting
signals to clean up resources. Also allows functionality
from Common Lisp's unwind-protect, such as calling cleanup code
while unwindinding the stack, restarting on certain signals, and
just in general having more control over signal and signal propagation.
Also fix a bug encountered while implementing with-resource in the
compiler. Desturcturing arguments that were not the last argument
would often result in bad code generation, as slots used to destructure
the earlier arguments would invalidate the later parameters. This is
fixed by allocating all named parameters before doing any destructuring.
This makes it easier to document functions that
take keyword arguments and also prevents some allocations
with these functions. Before, this was possible via normal
variadic functions but created an intermediate tuple, and
the generated docstrings did not document the keys.
The break special form can break out of both loops
and functions with an early (nil) return. Mainly useful
for generated code in macros, and should probably be discouraged
in user written code.
Leave in issues with calling memcpy with size=0. If these
become a problem, will probably add a janet_memcpy as memcpy
is used so much in the code without 0 checks.
A consistent style should help with contributors and
readability. We use astyle as the formatter as can make a pretty
good approximation of the current style and my preferred style.

This should speed up start time and reduce malloc/free
usage to about 15% of what is what previously for startup.
The current cost is slightly larger binary as the representaion
of the image is currently less compact than source code.
