This PR upstreams the Verso parser and adds preliminary support for
Verso in docstrings. This will allow the compiler to check examples and
cross-references in documentation.
After a `stage0` update, a follow-up PR will add the appropriate
attributes that allow the feature to be used. The parser tests from
Verso also remain to be upstreamed, and user-facing documentation will
be added once the feature has been used on more internals.
This PR allows Lean's parser to run with a final position prior to the
end of the string, so it can be invoked on a sub-region of the input.
This has applications in Verso proper, which parses Lean syntax in
contexts such as code blocks and docstrings, and it is a prerequisite to
parsing the contents of Lean docstrings.
This solves the issue where certain subexpressions are lacking syntax
hovers because the hover text is not "builtin" - it only shows up if the
`Parser` constant is imported in the environment. For top level syntaxes
this is not a problem because `builtin_term_parser` will automatically
add this doc information, but nested syntaxes don't get the same
treatment.
We could walk the expression and add builtin docs recursively, but this
is somewhat expensive and unnecessary given that it's a fixed list of
declarations in lean core. Moreover, there are reasons to want to
control which syntax nodes actually get hovers, and while a better
system for that is forthcoming, for now it can be achieved by
strategically not applying the `@[builtin_doc]` attribute.
Fixes#3842
Implements "gaps" in string literals. These are escape sequences of the
form `"\" newline whitespace+` that have the interpretation of an empty
string. For example,
```
"this is \
a string"
```
is equivalent to `"this is a string"`. These are modeled after string
continuations in
[Rust](https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/reference/tokens.html#string-literals).
Implements RFC #2838
