Leave it working in splicing mode. I prefer doing that over always
splicing them, since that would make a less uniform interface, so I
rather keep all options open. There is no longer a `#:nothing' keyword,
which is the main point of this downgrade.
(See mailing list discussion on "no-argument" for the reason.)
(cherry picked from commit 6565538b09)
When a module is loaded from bytecode and then the value of
`use-compiled-file-paths' changes, an attempt to load a submodule
would fail, because source isn't used if the main module is
already declared, and the bytecode code is not used according to
`use-compiled-file-paths'. Make the bytecode path stick when it
is used once, so that submodule loads succeed, and make it work
even with `namespace-module-attach'.
The module-attach part of this protocol requires a change to the
API of a module name resolver: the notification mode gets two
arguments, instead of one, where the second argument is an
environment.
The libraries moved were:
- mzlib/control => racket/control
- mzlib/date => racket/date
- mzlib/deflate => file/gzip
- mzlib/inflate => file/gunzip
- mzlib/port => racket/port
- mzlib/process => racket/system
- mzlib/runtime-path => racket/runtime-path
- mzlib/shared => racket/shared
- mzlib/unit => racket/unit
- mzlib/unit-exptime => racket/unit-exptime
- mzlib/zip => file/zip
The old modules in mzlib are now pointers to the
new modules. These are all modules that were already
redirected in the documentation.
The new names are `prompt-tag/c` and `continuation-mark-key/c`
to keep the names consistent with the values that are being
contracted. Also updated the HISTORY file.
Add a `#:nothing' argument so the no-value value can be
made explicit --- based on discussion with Eli, but pending
further review.
Also, renamed `#:first' to `#:before-first' and `#:last' to
`#:after-last' to be more clear, more parallel ro `#:before-last',
and avoid a collision with prominent function names.
The generics library now generates a `name/c` macro
for a generic interface `name`. The combinator can be
used to contract instances (or constructors) of a
generic interface across standard contract boundaries.
See PR 12860; some of problem related to the PR were "fixed" by
adjusting the guarantees that are specified in the documentation.
Another problem was that non-consecutive bytes could be returned.
For all currently supported platforms, the result was already
portable, despite the documentation's hedging.
Also fixed up the documentation in other ways, such as the fact
that `seconds->date' returns a `date*'.
