A phantom byte string is a small object that the memory
manager treats as an arbitrary-sized object, where the
size is specified when the phantom byte string is created
or or when size is changed via `set-phantom-bytes!'.
Keep track of whether any Racket-managed subprocesses are pending,
and use waitpid(0, ...) only if there is one, to better cooperate
with an embedding environment.
Also, add a chapter to the "Inside" manual to explain the issues.
As long as some thread is ready to run, and in case the threads
synchronize after very little work, keep checking threads for
at least one thread quantum.
When a tag is serializable but not `write'--`read' invariant,
then it needs to be serialized and deserialized.
Also, clarify and check in `tag?' that a tag should be
serializable.
Uses "Github flavored markdown". Specifically, code blocks are opened
using ```scheme so that Github will lex and format them as Scheme code
rather than generic monospace.
Note: I would have used ```racket, but we are still waiting for the
pygments.rb project to pull again from pygments-main -- to which I
contributed a Racket lexer back in August. After pygments.rb pulls,
can update this to use ```racket instead.
Allowing them would require support for immutable fxvectors and
flvectors, interning, and more. Since the motivation for reader
support is to make marshaling and unmarshaling easier, allow
them only in `read' mode. Change printing to make then unquotable.
For example, a new DrRacket window (with a file named tmp.rkt in the
and 356 afterwards. This is under mac os x with, I believe, the
default system font sizes. (The file is important because different
languages can have different buttons in the toolbar and the filename's
length itself can affect the minimum size.)
Mostly this change is the addition of a new kind of panel that
lets its children have multiple fixed sizes (as opposed to
just a single minimum size and (optionally arbitrarily large))
It also adjusts the various toolbar buttons to use this new code.
Also, there's a few tweaks to shrink other things that became the
limiting factor in shrinking the width of the DrRacket window.
Currently, at least for #lang racket programs, the toolbar buttons
along the top of the window are the limiting factor (including the
save button). With a bogus language (ie, #lang rackeeet), the bottom
bar is the limiting factor, since that will have only the Save, Run,
and Stop buttons.

Also switches scribble search trampoline to standard DOCTYPE.
Scribble's HTML output currently relies on the quirks-mode
box model for layout of the many tables used in rendering.
However, Scribble doesn't need the rest of the changes in
browser quirks modes, so we choose a DOCTYPE that just
changes the box model.
It's non-obvious how to replicated this formatting with CSS
in standard-mode rendering. Probably a better long term
solution is to move away from table-based layout.

Handle close parentheses in a smarter way while in
auto-parens mode and be a little more smart about
inserting brace pairs in general.
In summary:
- Add some "smart-skip" behavior to insert-close-paren,
described in the documentation.
- When auto-parens mode is enabled,
the existing "balance-parens" keybinding invokes
insert-close-paren with a smart-skip argument of
'adjacent
- A new "balance-parens-forward" keybinding invokes
insert-close-paren with a smart-skip argument of
'forward (whether or not auto-parens mode is
enabled)
- Enable basic smart-skip behavior for
strings ("...") and |...| pairs, specifically, typing
a double-quote or bar character when the cursor
immediately precedes one causes the cursor to simply
skip over the existing one
- Tweak auto-insertion of block comment pairs; i.e.
typing hash and a bar results in a properly balanced
#||# pair. Also, when you type a bar character when
the cursor immediately precedes a closing bar and
hash of a comment, then the cursor skips over both
characters (this seems better than having it just
skip over the bar, and then having to introduce a
new keybinding to detect when a hash is typed while
the cursor is between a bar and a hash)
- In strings and line/block comments, auto-parens mode
no longer has any effect (you can still use the M+..
keybindings to force insertion of a particular brace
pair)
- Detect when a character constant is being typed, and
don't insert brace pairs if so; i.e. if the cursor
is immediately after #\ , then typing any open parens,
double quote, or bar, does _not_ result in the
insertion of an open/close pair even in auto-parens
mode
- Add a bunch of tests related to auto-parens, matching
pairs of braces, strings, comments, etc. to
collects/tests/framework/racket.rkt
Changes the implementation of highlight-range so that it
only recomputes all of the new locations from the positions
when on-reflow is called (otherwise only computing the
relevant ones) and make the on-reflow callback chop itself
up, in case there are lots of highlighted ranges to avoid
tying up the event loop.
Changes searching so that it doesn't neccessarily compute
the entire search results in a single event callback
(but also make it start the computation more aggressively)
Overall, this changes the strategy from one that, for any potentially
long-running callback, just tried to push it off into the future, into
a strategy that tries to avoid long-running callbacks by breaking the
work up into chunks, but starting the first chunk immediately (in a
low-priority callback).
Also, misc other changes to make this work better and generally clean
things up.
