If set, when compiling this generates an executable which generates
profiling data. Currently supported by Racket and Chez, other backends
silently ignore it.
If all branches in a case block are a lambda, lift the lambda out. In
many cases, this can save creating a closure then evaluating it
immediately, because the function is already applied to the extra
argument.
This happens in particular with IO based code, where the extra argument
is the world token. One place where this transformation has a big effect
is 'evalRef' so the evaluator is now a bit faster (about 20% on the
small benchmark I tried it on - but no guarantees that's going to happen
on other examples!)
When flattening the `SimpleDocTree` created from a `SimpleDocStream`, the
first part of a concatenated doc was sometimes dropped, depending on the
result of the recursive call to `flatten`.
Previously, parameter block reused the same syntax as in Idris1:
```
parameters (v1 : t1, … , vn : tn)
```
Unfortunately this syntax presents some issues:
- It does not allow to declare implicit parameters
- It does not allow to specify which multiplicity to use
- It is inconsistent with the syntax used for named arguments elsewhere
in the language.
This change fixes those three problems by borrowing the syntax for
declaring type parameters in records:
```
parameters (v1 : t2) (v2 : t2) … (vn : tn)
```
It also enables other features like multiple declarations of arguments
with the same type:
```
parameters (v1, v2 : Type)
```
The previous names were a holdover from when these functions were a part
of `RefC.compileExpr`. The new names more accurately reflect their usage
in this context.
If we were to turn the whole check off instead of just making it
(not incase || isJust (isLHS mode)) then Issue962-case would fail
because `c` would get defaulted to `Integer` and not the `Int` that
is expected.
