This PR renames `String.ValidPos` to `String.Pos`, `String.endValidPos`
to `String.endPos` and `String.startValidPos` to `String.startPos`.
Accordingly, the deprecations of `String.Pos` to `String.Pos.Raw` and
`String.endPos` to `String.rawEndPos` are removed early, after an
abbreviated deprecation cycle of two releases.
This PR renames `Substring` to `Substring.Raw`.
This is to signify its status as a second-class citizen (not deprecated,
but no real plans for verification, like `String.Pos.Raw`) and to free
up the name `Substring` for a possible future type `String.Substring :
String -> Type` so that `s.Substring` is the type of substrings of `s`.
The functions `String.toSubstring` and `String.toSubstring'` will remain
for now for bootstrapping reasons.
This PR renames `String.Iterator` to `String.Legacy.Iterator`.
From the docstring of `String.Legacy.Iterator`:
> This is a no-longer-supported legacy API that will be removed in a
future release. You should use
> `String.ValidPos` instead, which is similar, but safer. To iterate
over a string `s`, start with
> `p : s.startValidPos`, advance it using `p.next`, access the current
character using `p.get` and
> check if the position is at the end using `p = s.endValidPos` or
`p.IsAtEnd`.
This PR removes all uses of `String.Iterator` from core, preferring
`String.ValidPos` instead.
In an upcoming PR, `String.Iterator` will be renamed to
`String.Legacy.Iterator`.
This PR splits some low-hanging fruit out of `Init.Data.String.Basic`:
basic material about `String.Pos.Raw`, `String.Substrig`, and
`String.Iterator`.
More splitting required and the remaining material is quite unorganized,
but it's a start.
