code that skips over them when building the search indices.
Overall, this means that the only change most people would see
is that multiple constructors in the same class will get a warning
(and there was one of those, so fixed that too).
Also, Rackety. Specifically, transformed this surprising combination
of constructs (where all caps are placeholders for something specific):
((if PRED
(λ (c mk) BODY2)
(λ (c mk) BODY1))
content
(lambda (tag) BODY3))
into this one:
(define (mk tag) BODY3)
(if PRED
BODY1{c:=content}
BODY2{c:=content})
For example, a syntactic form box is labeled with "SYNTAX". Forms
such as `defform' and `defthing' now support a `#:kind' option
for setting the label.
Rename `read-intern-literal' to `datum-intern-literal'.
Interning is needed only in `read-syntax' or `datum->syntax' to
set up the invariants that the bytecode compiler needs for cross-module
optimization. When `read'ing numbers from a data file, meanwhile,
interning slows things down a lot and doesn't seem worthwhile.
The value isn't used; a 'dep tag is ony to establish
dependencies, and the relevant value is with a 'form or
'def tag. Avoiding the extra value saves another 5% in
cross-reference files.
This change saves a small amount of space in cross-reference files
and some space in loaded cross-reference information.
It also saves work converting strings to mutable on deserialize,
although the performance difference seems negligible.
In @defform*[#:id x1 [(qqq x1)]], for example, `#:id x1' needs to
calcel the default treatment of `x1' within `(qqq x1)' as
a metavariable, while treating `qqq' as a meta-variable.
instead of copying the file into place. This makes Lion's Preview happier (specifically
it now recognizes the file as a revision of the old one and updates itself instead of
treating it as a new file and opening a second window)
Related to the already fixed PR 12114 and PR 12133, which motivated the
error, and a few additional typos of the same kind.
(Note that it uses the symbols, but that's how they'll render anyway.)
