This PR introduces slices of lists that are available via slice notation
(e.g., `xs[1...5]`).
* Moved the `take` combinator and the `List` iterator producer to
`Init`.
* Introduced a `toTake` combinator: `it.toTake` behaves like `it`, but
it has the same type as `it.take n`. There is a constant cost per
iteration compared to `it` itself.
* Introduced `List` slices. Their iterators are defined as
`suffixList.iter.take n` for upper-bounded slices and
`suffixList.iter.toTake` for unbounded ones.
Performance characteristics of using the slice `list[a...b]`:
* when creating it: `O(a)`
* every iterator step: `O(1)`
* `toList`: `O(b - a + 1)` (given that a <= b)
Because the slice only stores a suffix of `xs` internally, two slices
can be equal even though the underlying lists differ in an irrelevant
prefix. Because the `stop` field is allowed to be beyond the list's
upper bound, the slices `[1][0...1]` and `[1][0...2]` are not equal,
even though they effectively cover the same range of the same list.
Improving this would require us to call `List.length` when building the
slice, which would iterate through the whole list.
* Wrap proof subterms in `by exact` so dependencies can be demoted to
private `import`s
* Remove trivial instance re-definitions that may cause name collisions
on import changes
* Remove unused `open`s that may fail on import removals
This PR adjusts the experimental module system to make `private` the
default visibility modifier in `module`s, introducing `public` as a new
modifier instead. `public section` can be used to revert the default for
an entire section, though this is more intended to ease gradual adoption
of the new semantics such as in `Init` (and soon `Std`) where they
should be replaced by a future decl-by-decl re-review of visibilities.
This PR proves that the default `toList`, `toListRev` and `toArray`
functions on slices can be described in terms of the slice iterator.
Relying on new lemmas for the `uLift` and `attachWith` iterator
combinators, a more concrete description of said functions is given for
`Subarray`.
This PR replaces all usages of `[:]` slice notation in `src` with the
new `[...]` notation in production code, tests and comments. The
underlying implementation of the `Subarray` functions stays the same.
Notation cheat sheet:
* `*...*` is the doubly-unbounded range.
* `*...a` or `*...<a` contains all elements that are less than `a`.
* `*...=a` contains all elements that are less than or equal to `a`.
* `a...*` contains all elements that are greater than or equal to `a`.
* `a...b` or `a...<b` contains all elements that are greater than or
equal to `a` and less than `b`.
* `a...=b` contains all elements that are greater than or equal to `a`
and less than or equal to `b`.
* `a<...*` contains all elements that are greater than `a`.
* `a<...b` or `a<...<b` contains all elements that are greater than `a`
and less than `b`.
* `a<...=b` contains all elements that are greater than `a` and less
than or equal to `b`.
Benchmarks have shown that importing the iterator-backed parts of the
polymorphic slice library in `Init` impacts build performance. This PR
avoids this problem by separating those parts of the library that do not
rely on iterators from those those that do. Whereever the new slice
notation is used, only the iterator-independent files are imported.
This PR introduces polymorphic slices in their most basic form. They
come with a notation similar to the new range notation. `Subarray` is
now also a slice and can produce an iterator now. It is intended to
migrate more operations of `Subarray` to the `Slice` wrapper type to
make them available for slices of other types, too.
The PR also moves the `filterMap` combinators into `Init` because they
are used internally to implement iterators on array slices.
