Gets the OS info from the host compiler, which we'll need to be careful
with when bootstrapping (since maybe we'll distribute generated chez or
racket as a starting point for bootstrapping...)
This required a small change to auto implicit search (and I'm still not
sure about this). Now search arguments right to left, because solving
later arguments may resolve earlier arguments by unification and this
can happen in particular when chasing parent interfaces (which may have
fewer parameters).
Now supports with applications on the RHS when auto implicits are
involved. Auto implicit bound names in patterns now become searches on
the rhs in a with-application (I should write this construct up properly
in a paper some time!)
This has shown up a problem with 'case' which is hard to fix - since it
works by generating a function with the appropriate type, it's hard to
ensure that let bindings computational behaviour is propagated while
maintaining appropriate dependencies between arguments and keeping the
let so that it only evaluates once. So, I've disabled the computational
behaviour of 'let' inside case blocks. I hope this isn't a big
inconvenience (there are workarounds if it's ever needed, anyway).
