The basic idea of this change is to create a new `robot` type and use it to identify robots instead of `string` names. Internally, a `robot` value is just a (unique) `Int`. Closes #212 . This ended up turning into a sort of constellation of related changes. - Add the `robot` type and change the type of various built-in functions which used to take a robot name so they now take a `robot` (`give`, `install`, `reprogram`, `view`, `upload`) and change `build` so it returns a `robot`. - All internal data structures that store robots are now keyed by a unique (`Int`) robot ID rather than by name. - Add a `setname` command for setting a robot's display name (which no longer needs to uniquely identify a robot). - Import a big list of words which we can use to randomly pick names for robots, just for fun. This is why the diff says "+31,050 -265"; I did not write 31 thousand lines of code. - Add constants `base`, `parent`, and `self` for getting a `robot` value referring to the base, one's parent, and one's self, respectively. - Top-level binders like `r <- build {move}` now export a variable binding which can be used in later expressions entered at the REPL; additionally, unlike Haskell, a binder can now appear as the last statement in a block. - Fix the pretty-printer for `Value` by doubling down on our current strategy of injecting `Value`s back into `Term`s and then pretty-printing the result. I am now convinced this is the Right Way (tm) to do this; it only required adding a couple additional kinds of `Term` which represent internal results of evaluation and cannot show up in the surface language (`TRef`, `TRobot`). - Update the tutorial. - While updating the tutorial, I noticed that #294 had introduced a bug, where the inventory display no longer updated when 0 copies of an entity are added to the inventory (as with `scan` + `upload`), so I fixed that by changing the way inventory hashes are computed. I tried running the benchmarks both before & after this change. I was hoping that it might speed things up to be using `IntMap` and `IntSet` instead of looking things up by `Text` keys in a `Map` all the time. However, if I'm interpreting the results correctly, it seems like it didn't really make all that much difference, at least for the particular benchmarks we have.
