Louis Gesbert a415355a39 Rework the AST Gadt to allow merging of different ASTs
The phantom polymorphic variant qualifying AST nodes is reversed:
- previously, we were explicitely restricting each AST node to the passes where it belonged using a closed type (e.g. `[< dcalc | lcalc]`)
- now, each node instead declares the "feature" it provides using an open type (e.g. `[> 'Exceptions ]`)
- then the AST for a specific pass limits the features it allows with a closed type

The result is that you can mix and match all features if you wish,
even if the result is not a valid AST for any given pass. More
interestingly, it's now easier to write a function that works on
different ASTs at once (it's the inferred default if you don't write a
type restriction).

The opportunity was also taken to simplify the encoding of the
operators, which don't need a second type parameter anymore.

French Law Libraries

This folder presents a working example of how Catala could be distributed and deployed inside existing applications. Each sub-folder is specialized for a particular programming language, and features a ready-to-use library of all the French public algorithms coded up using Catala so far.

General principles

Let us say you want to deploy a Catala program inside an application written in programming language X. The Catala compiler will translate the source Catala program into X, yielding a new .x source code file. This .x file will export functions corresponding to the scopes of the original Catala program. You can then reuse those exported functions in your application written in X.
