Implements #6134.
# Important Notes
One can define lazy atom fields as:
```haskell
type Lazy
Value ~x ~y
```
the evaluation of the `x` and `y` fields is then delayed until they are needed. The evaluation happens once. Then the computed value is kept in the atom for further use.
Fixes#5898 by removing `Catch.panic` and speeding the `sieve.enso` benchmark from 1058 ms to 514 ms. Should there be no dedicated conversion, let's use one defined on `Any` type - e.g. defining a conversion `from(Any)` makes such a conversion is always available.
- `Process.run` now returns a `Process_Result` allowing the easy capture of stdout and stderr.
- Joining a column with a column name does not warn if adding just the prefix.
- Stop the table viz from changing case and adding spaces to the headers.
This is the first part of the #5158 umbrella task. It closes#5158, follow-up tasks are listed as a comment in the issue.
- Updates all prototype methods dealing with `Value_Type` with a proper implementation.
- Adds a more precise mapping from in-memory storage to `Value_Type`.
- Adds a dialect-dependent mapping between `SQL_Type` and `Value_Type`.
- Removes obsolete methods and constants on `SQL_Type` that were not portable.
- Ensures that in the Database backend, operation results are computed based on what the Database is meaning to return (by asking the Database about expected types of each operation).
- But also ensures that the result types are sane.
- While SQLite does not officially support a BOOLEAN affinity, we add a set of type overrides to our operations to ensure that Boolean operations will return Boolean values and will not be changed to integers as SQLite would suggest.
- Some methods in SQLite fallback to a NUMERIC affinity unnecessarily, so stuff like `max(text, text)` will keep the `text` type instead of falling back to numeric as SQLite would suggest.
- Adds ability to use custom fetch / builder logic for various types, so that we can support vendor specific types (for example, Postgres dates).
# Important Notes
- There are some TODOs left in the code. I'm still aligning follow-up tasks - once done I will try to add references to relevant tasks in them.
Enables `distinct`, `aggregate` and `cross_tab` to use the Enso hashing and equality operations.
Also, I rewired the way the ObjectComparators are obtained in polyglot code to be more consistent.
Add Comparator for `Day_Of_Week`, `Header`, `SQL_Type`, `Image` and `Matrix`.
Also, removed the custom `==` from these types as needed. (Closes#5626)
- Fixes InvokeCallableNode to support warnings.
- Strips warnings from annotations in `get_widget_json`.
- Remove `get_full_annotations_json`.
- Fix warnings on Dialect.
Exporting types named the same as the module where they are defined in `Main` modules of library components may lead to accidental name conflicts. This became apparent when trying to access `Problem_Behavior` module via a fully qualified name and the compiler rejected it. This is due to the fact that `Main` module exported `Error` type defined in `Standard.Base.Error` module, thus making it impossible to access any other submodules of `Standard.Base.Error` via a fully qualified name.
This change adds a warning to FullyQualifiedNames pass that detects any such future problems.
While only `Error` module was affected, it was widely used in the stdlib, hence the number of changes.
Closes#5902.
# Important Notes
I left out the potential conflict in micro-distribution, thus ensuring we actually detect and report the warning.
Fixing #5768 and #5765 and co. Introducing `Meta.Type` and giving it the desired methods.
# Important Notes
`Type` is no longer a `Meta.Atom`, but it has a dedicated `Meta.Type` representation.
Implement new Enso documentation parser; remove old Scala Enso parser.
Performance: Total time parsing documentation is now ~2ms.
# Important Notes
- Doc parsing is now done only in the frontend.
- Some engine tests had never been switched to the new parser. We should investigate tests that don't pass after the switch: #5894.
- The option to run the old searcher has been removed, as it is obsolete and was already broken before this (see #5909).
- Some interfaces used only by the old searcher have been removed.
Closes#5151 and adds some additional tests for `cross_tab` that verify duplicated and invalid names.
I decided that for empty or `Nothing` names, instead of replacing them with `Column` and implicitly losing connection with the value that was in the column, we should just error on such values.
To make handling of these easier, `fill_empty` was added allowing to easily replace the empty values with something else.
Also, `{is,fill}_missing` was renamed to `{is,fill}_nothing` to align with `Filter_Condition.Is_Nothing`.
Merge _ordered_ and _unordered_ comparators into a single one.
# Important Notes
Comparator is now required to have only `compare` method:
```
type Comparator
comapre : T -> T -> (Ordering|Nothing)
hash : T -> Integer
```
Follow-up to #5113 - I add some more edge case tests as we discussed with @jdunkerley
When debugging some quoting issues, I also realised the current `Mismatched_Quote` error provided not enough information. So I amended it to at least include some context indicating which was the 'offending' cell.
Removing special handling of `AtomConstructor` in `Meta.is_a` check.
# Important Notes
A lot of tests are about to fail. Many of them indirectly call `Meta.is_a` with a constructor rather than type.
- Fix issue with Geo Map viz.
- Handle invalid format strings better in `Data_Formatter`.
- New constants for the ISO format strings (and a special ENSO_ZONED_DATE_TIME)
- Consistent Date Time format for parsing in all places.
- Avoid throwing exception in datetime parsing.
- Support for milliseconds (well nanoseconds) in Date_Time and Time_Of_Day.
- `Column.map` stays within Enso.
- Allow `Aggregate_Column.Group_By` in `cross_tab` group_by parameter.
Closes#5113
Fixes a bug where read-only files would be overwritten if File.write was used in backup mode, and added tests to avoid such regression. To implement it, introduced a `is_writable` property on `File`.
- Adjust Excel Workbook write behaviour.
- Support Nothing / Null constants.
- Deduce the type of arithmetic operations and `iif`.
- Allow Date_Time constants, treating as local timezone.
- Removed the `to_column_name` and `ensure_sane_name` code.
- Handle `WithWarnings` in `IndirectInvokeCallableNode`.
- Handle no RootNode in `ErrorResolver`.
- Allow table vizualisation to cope if no `data` passed.
- Add `Warning.has_warnings` to check if warnings present.
- Adjust `set_value` for `JS_Object` so creates a new object each time.
- Updates the `rename_columns` API.
- Add `first_row`, `second_row` and `last_row` to the Table types.
- New option for reading only last row of ResultSet.
Rename is_match + match to match + find (respectively), and remove all non-regexp functionality.
Regexp flags and Match_Mode are also no longer supported by these methods.
Critical performance improvements after #4067
# Important Notes
- Replace if-then-else expressions in `Any.==` with case expressions.
- Fix caching in `EqualsNode`.
- This includes fixing specializations, along with fallback guard.
Remove regex support from .locate and .locate_all; regex functionality is moved to .match and .match_all where appropriate. This is in preparation for simplifying regex support across the board.
Also change Matching_Mode types to a single type with two variants.
Note: the matcher parameter to .locate and .locate_all has been replaced by a case_sensitivity parameter, of type Case_Sensitivity, which differs in that it also has a Default option. Default is treated as Sensitive.
- Updated `Widget.Vector_Editor` ready for use by IDE team.
- Added `get` to `Row` to make API more aligned.
- Added `first_column`, `second_column` and `last_column` to `Table` APIs.
- Adjusted `Column_Selector` and associated methods to have simpler API.
- Removed `Column` from `Aggregate_Column` constructors.
- Added new `Excel_Workbook` type and added to `Excel_Section`.
- Added new `SQLiteFormatSPI` and `SQLite_Format`.
- Added new `IamgeFormatSPI` and `Image_Format`.
Closes#5109
# Important Notes
- Currently the tests pass for the in-memory parts of Common_Table_Operations, but still some stuff not working on DB backends - in progress.
Add `Comparator` type class emulation for all types. Migrate all the types in stdlib to this new `Comparator` API. The main documentation is in `Ordering.enso`.
Fixes these pivotals:

# Important Notes
- The new Comparator API forces users to specify both `equals` and `hash` methods on their custom comparators.
- All the `compare_to` overrides were replaced by definition of a custom _ordered_ comparator.
- All the call sites of `x.compare_to y` method were replaced with `Ordering.compare x y`.
- `Ordering.compare` is essentially a shortcut for `Comparable.from x . compare x y`.
- The default comparator for `Any` is `Default_Unordered_Comparator`, which just forwards to the builtin `EqualsNode` and `HashCodeNode` nodes.
- For `x`, one can get its hash with `Comparable.from x . hash x`.
- This makes `hash` as _hidden_ as possible. There are no other public methods to get a hash code of an object.
- Comparing `x` and `y` can be done either by `Ordering.compare x y` or `Comparable.from x . compare x y` instead of `x.compare_to y`.
