Ryan Culpepper d7a87c79e0 Merged changes to syntax/parse
Changed backtracking algorithm, runtime representations
    - syntax classes, ~describe no longer implicitly commit
    - ~describe no longer delimits effect of cut
  Added keyword & optional args for stxclasses
  Added ~do and #:do, ~post, ~commit and #:commit,
    ~delimit-cut and #:no-delimit-cut
  Added syntax/parse/debug, syntax/parse/experimental/*
    - expr/c for contracting macro sub-expressions
      moved from syntax/parse to syntax/parse/experimental/contract
    - syntax class reflection (~reflect, ~splicing-reflect)
    - eh-alternative-sets (~eh-var)
    - provide-syntax-class/contract
      (only for params, not attrs so far)
  Changed ~fail to not include POST progress (#:fail still does)
    old (~fail _) is now (~post (~fail _))
  Made msg argument of ~fail optional
  Removed generic "repetition constraint violated" msg
  Removed atom-in-list stxclass
  Removed unnecessary datum->syntax on cdr of pair pattern
    massive improvements to long-list microbenchmarks
  Optimization: integrable syntax classes (id, expr, keyword)
    need better measurements
  Optimization: ad hoc elimination of head/tail choice point
    for (EH ... . ()) patterns
  Added unstable/wrapc (proc version of expr/c)

Things to do for syntax/parse
=============================
TEST & DOC - Generalize stxclass arities.
TEST & DOC - provide-syntax-class/contract
Refine expr/c.
Wrap default args in stxclass parameters with 'this-syntax'
- other stxparams? like 'this-base-syntax' etc?
Add debugging mode that records *all* intermediate patterns
on expectstack.
Add "roles" to error messages, eg
expected identifier for foo thingummy name
instead of the current
expected identifier
Improve ~do.
Improve reflection.
More cowbell.
Reorganize tests.
Allow reflected syntax classes in conventions.
Rename "conventions" to "convention-set"?
For documentation, talk about "primary attributes" vs "nested
attributes". Helps explain ~eh-var and #:auto-nested-attributes.
Fix syntaxes pinpointed for repetition constraint violations.
