- Add process module with Process class.
- Add "arguments" and "allArguments" methods.
- Docs for same.
- Support passing additional arguments to command line.
- Add "--help" support to command line.
- Rename "Expressions" -> "Method Calls".
- Organize "Types" and "Language" into a single linear narrative.
- Mobile-specific navigation to handle the longer guide.
- Rename "Fibers" -> "Concurrency".
- Get rid of duplicate stuff about signatures in "Classes".
- Add next/prev links to each page in the guide.
- Move "Contributing" and "Community" up to the top level.
- Move the precendence table to a separate "Grammar" page.
- Lots of other little stuff.
- Add Fiber.transferError(_).
- Primitives place runtime errors directly in the fiber instead of on
the stack.
- Primitives that change fibers set it directly in the VM.
- Allow a fiber's error to be any object (except null).
Get rid of the separate opt-in IO class and replace it with a core
System class.
- Remove wren_io.c, wren_io.h, and io.wren.
- Remove the flags that disable it.
- Remove the overloads for print() with different arity. (It was an
experiment, but I don't think it's that useful.)
- Remove IO.read(). That will reappear using libuv in the CLI at some
point.
- Remove IO.time. Doesn't seem to have been used.
- Update all of the tests, docs, etc.
I'm sorry for all the breakage this causes, but I think "System" is a
better name for this class (it makes it natural to add things like
"System.gc()") and frees up "IO" for referring to the CLI's IO module.
The .count getter on string returns the number of code points. That's
O(n), but it's consistent with the rest of the main string API.
If you want the number of bytes, it's "string".bytes.count.
Updated the docs.
Fixes 68. Woo!
