Replace the previous approach of desugaring import statements into calls to System.importModule() and System.getModuleVariable() with two new bytecode instructions: CODE_IMPORT_MODULE and CODE_IMPORT_VARIABLE. This eliminates the need for the corresponding primitive methods in the core library, adds proper debug dump support for the new opcodes, and updates the compiler to emit these instructions directly. The getNumArguments function is also updated to handle the new opcodes and the unreachable default case is removed.
Remove CODE_LOAD_MODULE and CODE_IMPORT_VARIABLE opcodes, replacing them with calls to System.importModule(_) and System.getModuleVariable(_,_) primitives. This simplifies the interpreter loop, improves performance by reducing bytecode dispatch, and prepares for moving module loading logic into Wren source code for embedder flexibility.
Add `numSlots` and `maxSlots` fields to `Compiler` struct to track current and maximum stack usage during compilation. Introduce `stackEffects` array mapping each opcode to its net stack delta, defined via updated `OPCODE` macro in `wren_opcodes.h` now taking a second argument. Modify `initCompiler` to initialize slot tracking from `numLocals`, update `emitByte` and related emit functions to adjust `numSlots` and update `maxSlots` when a new peak is reached. Extend `ObjFn` with `maxSlots` field, pass it through `wrenNewFunction` calls (including `makeCallStub`), and fix a null-check in `wrenDumpCode` for core module name.
Previously, inheriting from null would silently fall back to Object superclass. Now validates superclass and raises runtime error if null is provided. Refactored defineClass to remove implicit null-to-Object fallback, added loadCoreVariable helper for module-level core imports, and updated CLASS/FOREIGN_CLASS opcode comments to reflect that null is no longer a valid superclass. Added test case for inherit_from_null.
Implement the initial infrastructure for foreign classes in the Wren VM, including new opcodes (FOREIGN_CONSTRUCT, FOREIGN_CLASS), a WrenBindForeignClassFn callback type in the public API, and updated CLI vm.c to store and forward foreign binding callbacks via setForeignCallbacks(). The compiler now tracks whether a class is foreign via a new isForeign flag in ClassCompiler, emits CODE_FOREIGN_CONSTRUCT instead of CODE_CONSTRUCT for foreign class constructors, and errors on field definitions inside foreign classes. The debug dump and opcode header gain entries for the new opcodes, and wrenBindSuperclass handles the -1 numFields sentinel for foreign classes to prevent field inheritance from superclasses.
Replace all uses of the `new` reserved word with explicit `this new()` constructor definitions and `ClassName.new()` instantiation calls in builtin/core.wren. Update all documentation files (classes.markdown, fiber.markdown, fn.markdown, sequence.markdown, error-handling.markdown, expressions.markdown, fibers.markdown, functions.markdown) to reflect the new constructor syntax, removing `new` keyword examples and replacing them with `ClassName.new()` patterns and `this new()` definitions.
