The new function allows declaration of a module dependency, as
opposed to a mere file dependency. Misuse of this function opens
the door to cyclic compilation dependencies, so we have to check
for that in `compiler/cm'.
Also, log a warning when it is used in a position where it
doesn't work rght with the executable creator. I didn't make
this case an error, because `define-runtime-path' can still
work in that case as long as no standalone executable needs
to be created.
I started from tabs that are not on the beginning of lines, and in
several places I did further cleanings.
If you're worried about knowing who wrote some code, for example, if you
get to this commit in "git blame", then note that you can use the "-w"
flag in many git commands to ignore whitespaces. For example, to see
per-line authors, use "git blame -w <file>". Another example: to see
the (*much* smaller) non-whitespace changes in this (or any other)
commit, use "git log -p -w -1 <sha1>".
Add "Version" in front of a version name via `.version:before' or
`.versionNoNav:before' and `\SVersionBefore', so that they can
be configured through overriding CSS or Latex macro declarations.
Also, improve the documentation for how the `#:version' argument
of `title' is propagated to a `part' style property.

Shape information allows the linker to check the importing
module's compile-time expectation against the run-time
value of its imports. The JIT, in turn, can rely on that
checking to better inline structure-type predicates, etc.,
and to more directy call JIT-generated code across
module boundaries.
In addition to checking the "shape" of an import, the import's
JITted vs. non-JITted state must be consistent. To prevent shifts
in JIT state, the `eval-jit-enabled' parameter is now restricted
in its effect to top-level bindings.
Updated example for for/digits to avoid confusion: it's not clear
otherwise that the intentional syntax error wasn't just a casual
mistake.
Added an example for sequence-add-between.
Turn use of a finalized ffi callout into a reported error,
instead of a crash. Clarify the existence of the finalizer
in the docs. Fix error logging of the finalizer thread.
Merge to v5.3.1
Bytecode changes in two small ways to help the validator:
* a cross-module variable reference preserves the compiler's
annotation on whether the reference is constant, fixed, or other
* lifted procedures now appear in the module body just before the
definitions that use them, instead of at the beginning of the
module body
The new argument gets to chaperone/impersonate a guard at
the prompt, and it is applied when the continuation is applied ---
based on a wrapper on th prompt tag of the continuation (as opposed to
the prompt tag of the prompt).
The new argument gets to filter results that come from a
non-composable continuation that replaces one delimited
by a prompt using the chaperoned/impersonated prompt tag.
