Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
A program can either respond to `--complete -- some args to complete`
directly, or add a `_complete_<program name>` invokable (i.e. shell
function, or just a plain binary in PATH) that completes the given
command and lists the completions on stdout.
Should such a completion fail or yield no results, we'll fall back to
the previous completion algorithm.
And also try_create<T> => try_make_ref_counted<T>.
A global "create" was a bit much. The new name matches make<T> better,
which we've used for making single-owner objects since forever.
We had some inconsistencies before:
- Sometimes "The", sometimes "the"
- Sometimes trailing ".", sometimes no trailing "."
I picked the most common one (lowecase "the", trailing ".") and applied
it to all copyright headers.
By using the exact same string everywhere we can ensure nothing gets
missed during a global search (and replace), and that these
inconsistencies are not spread any further (as copyright headers are
commonly copied to new files).
SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

This was done with the `ambr` search and replace tool.

This commit adds a few basic variable substitution operations:
- length
Find the length of a string or a list
- length_across
Find the lengths of things inside a list
- remove_{suffix,prefix}
Remove a suffix or a prefix from all the passed values
- regex_replace
Replace all matches of a given regex with a given template
- split
Split the given string with the given delimiter (or to its
code points if the delimiter is empty)
- concat_lists
concatenates any given lists into one
Closes#4316 (the ancient version of this same feature)
