This makes these operatios use constant stack space rather
than linear stackspace given the size of the inputs. This is important
to prevent certain parser input from causing a stack overflow - in
general, we try to avoid unbounded recursion.
This changes the implementation of the `next` function which
is now used to implement each. This let's us iterate over
more types, not just tables and structs.
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.
This unifies equality and comparison checking. Before, we had
separate functions and vm opcodes for comparing general values vs.
for comparing numbers, where the numberic functions were polymorphic and
had special cases for handling NaNs. By unfiying them, abstract types
can now better integrate with other number types and behave as keys.
For now, the old functions are aliased but will eventually be removed.
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.
The janet_get_permissive function implements the core semantics
of the 'get' function. The original janet_get implements the semantics of
the 'in' function and also the OP_GET opcode. This slight oddity is
to avoid a backwards incompatible change.
The new RNG wraps up state for random number generation, so
one can have many rngs and even marshal and unmarshal them.
Adds math/rng, math/rng-uniform, and math/rng-int.
Also introduce `in` and change semantics for
indexing out of range. This commit enforces stricter
invariants on keys when indexing via a function call
on the data structure, or the new `in` function.
The `get` function is now more lax about keys, and will
not throw an error when a bad key is used for a data structure, instead
returning the default value.
Also adds the janet_lengthv API call. This is
needed because janet_length returns a 32 bit integer, where
as lengthv lets us return larger values (useful for typed arrays).
janet_mcall is an api function that should make it easier to call
a janet method from C code. It shares a similar signature with
janet_call.
We moved the literals true and false into one tag
type, so we an extra tag for raw pointer types
(light userdata). These can be used from the C API via
janet_wrap_pointer and janet_unwrap_pointer.
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.

remove some complexity and unexpected behavior around numbers in
general as all numbers are the same number type, IEEE 754 double
precision numbers. Also update examples and tests, some of which were
out of date.
Some more testing may be needed for new changes to numbers.
