This is needed because the existing version won't build the Prelude
correctly as it doesn't do import...as correctly.
I don't believe this affects Idris2-boot, since it has its own Prelude.
This involves updating the bootstrap code since it needs a fix in
interface resolution. It shouldn't affect the Idris2-boot build though,
since it's in the libraries not the Idris2 source.
Meaning that the FFI is aware of it, so you can send arbitrary byte data
to foreign calls. Fixes#209
This means that we no longer need the hacky way of reading and writing
binary data via scheme, so can have a more general interface for reading
and writing buffer data in files.
It will also enable more interesting high level interfaces to binary
data, with C calls being used where necessary.
Note that the Buffer primitive are unsafe! They always have been, of
course... so perhaps (later) they should have 'unsafe' as part of their
name and better high level safe interfaces on top.
This requires updating the scheme to support Buffer as an FFI primitive,
but shouldn't affect Idris2-boot which loads buffers its own way.
Racket appears to have a different notion of current directory than the
system does, so we need to tell it which directory we think we're in
when reading and writing bytevectors using the scheme file functions.
