A few tips on using this GADT:
- To write a function that handles cases from different ASTs, explicit the
type variables: [fun (type a) (x: a naked_gexpr) -> ...]
- For recursive functions, you may need to additionally explicit the
generalisation of the variable: [let rec f: type a . a naked_gexpr -> ...]
- Always think of using the pre-defined map/fold functions in [Expr] rather
than completely defining your recursion manually. *)

Make scopes directly callable Quite a few changes are included here, some of which have some extra implications visible in the language: - adds the `Scope of { -- input_v: value; ... }` construct in the language - handle it down the pipeline: * `ScopeCall` in the surface AST * `EScopeCall` in desugared and scopelang * expressions are now traversed to detect dependencies between scopes * transformed into a normal function call in dcalc - defining a scope now implicitely defines a structure with the same name, with the output variables of the scope defined as fields. This allows us to type the return value from a scope call and access its fields easily. * the implications are mostly in surface/name_resolution.ml code-wise * the `Scope_out` struct that was defined in scope_to_dcalc is no longer needed/used and the fields are no longer renamed (changes some outputs; the explicit suffix for variables with multiple states is ignored as well) * one benefit is that disambiguation works just like for structures when there are conflicts on field names * however, it's now a conflict if a scope and a structure have the same name (side-note: issues with conflicting enum / struct names or scope variables / subscope names were silent and are now properly reported) - you can consequently use scope names as types for variables as well. Writing literals is not allowed though, they can only be obtained by calling the scope. Remaining TODOs: - context variables are not handled properly at the moment - error handling on invalid calls - tests show a small error message regression; lots of examples will need tweaking to avoid scope/struct name or struct fields / output variable conflicts - add a `->` syntax to make struct field access distinct from scope output var access, enforced with typing. This is expected to reduce confusion of users and add a little typing precision. - document the new syntax & implications (tutorial, cheat-sheet) - a consequence of the changes is that subscope variables also can now be typed. A possible future evolution / simplification would be to rewrite subscopes as explicit scope calls early in the pipeline. That could also allow to manipulate them as expressions (bind them in let-ins, return them...)

Swap boxing and annotations in expressions This was the only reasonable solution I found to the issue raised [here](https://github.com/CatalaLang/catala/pull/334#discussion_r987175884). This was a pretty tedious rewrite, but it should now ensure we are doing things correctly. As a bonus, the "smart" expression constructors are now used everywhere to build expressions (so another refactoring like this one should be much easier) and this makes the code overall feel more straightforward (`Bindlib.box_apply` or `let+` no longer need to be visible!) --- Basically, we were using values of type `gexpr box = naked_gexpr marked box` throughout when (re-)building expressions. This was done 99% of the time by using `Bindlib.box_apply add_mark naked_e` right after building `naked_e`. In lots of places, we needed to recover the annotation of this expression later on, typically to build its parent term (to inherit the position, or build the type). Since it wasn't always possible to wrap these uses within `box_apply` (esp. as bindlib boxes aren't a monad), here and there we had to call `Bindlib.unbox`, just to recover the position or type. This had the very unpleasant effect of forcing the resolution of the whole box (including applying any stored closures) to reach the top-level annotation which isn't even dependant on specific variable bindings. Then, generally, throwing away the result. Therefore, the change proposed here transforms - `naked_gexpr marked Bindlib.box` into - `naked_gexpr Bindlib.box marked` (aliased to `boxed_gexpr` or `gexpr boxed` for convenience) This means only 1. not fitting the mark into the box right away when building, and 2. accessing the top-level mark directly without unboxing The functions for building terms from module `Shared_ast.Expr` could be changed easily. But then they needed to be consistently used throughout, without manually building terms through `Bindlib.apply_box` -- which covers most of the changes in this patch. `Expr.Box.inj` is provided to swap back to a box, before binding for example. Additionally, this gives a 40% speedup on `make -C examples pass_all_tests`, which hints at the amount of unnecessary work we were doing --'

(** needed for disambiguation (desugared -> scope) *)
ctx_scopes : scope_out_struct ScopeName.Map.t;
Make scopes directly callable Quite a few changes are included here, some of which have some extra implications visible in the language: - adds the `Scope of { -- input_v: value; ... }` construct in the language - handle it down the pipeline: * `ScopeCall` in the surface AST * `EScopeCall` in desugared and scopelang * expressions are now traversed to detect dependencies between scopes * transformed into a normal function call in dcalc - defining a scope now implicitely defines a structure with the same name, with the output variables of the scope defined as fields. This allows us to type the return value from a scope call and access its fields easily. * the implications are mostly in surface/name_resolution.ml code-wise * the `Scope_out` struct that was defined in scope_to_dcalc is no longer needed/used and the fields are no longer renamed (changes some outputs; the explicit suffix for variables with multiple states is ignored as well) * one benefit is that disambiguation works just like for structures when there are conflicts on field names * however, it's now a conflict if a scope and a structure have the same name (side-note: issues with conflicting enum / struct names or scope variables / subscope names were silent and are now properly reported) - you can consequently use scope names as types for variables as well. Writing literals is not allowed though, they can only be obtained by calling the scope. Remaining TODOs: - context variables are not handled properly at the moment - error handling on invalid calls - tests show a small error message regression; lots of examples will need tweaking to avoid scope/struct name or struct fields / output variable conflicts - add a `->` syntax to make struct field access distinct from scope output var access, enforced with typing. This is expected to reduce confusion of users and add a little typing precision. - document the new syntax & implications (tutorial, cheat-sheet) - a consequence of the changes is that subscope variables also can now be typed. A possible future evolution / simplification would be to rewrite subscopes as explicit scope calls early in the pipeline. That could also allow to manipulate them as expressions (bind them in let-ins, return them...)
