* module/language/lua/lexer.scm: Some tweaks and reindentations. Remove
the define/init lexer interface; I don't like separating declaration
and initialization.
* module/language/lua/parser.scm:
* test-suite/tests/lua-lexer.test: Adapt to lexer interface change.
* module/language/lua/runtime.scm (true?, false?): Remove, now that #nil
is false.
* module/language/lua/compile-tree-il.scm: Don't emit calls to true? or
false?.
* module/language/lua/common.scm: Remove `or-eqv?'. Make a bit more
idiomatic.
* module/language/lua/compile-tree-il.scm:
* module/language/lua/lexer.scm:
* module/language/lua/parser.scm:
* module/language/lua/runtime.scm: Replace or-eqv? instances with memq
or memv.
What is missing:
+ Functions: module, getfenv, setfenv, math.modf, table.sort
+ Parser: needs to be more flexible
+ Compiler: needs more extensive work to properly handle all possible
cases of variable arguments, multiple returns, and loops
+ Language: Variable arguments and unpacking of multiple returns. (For
example we need to be able to handle something as complex as
print(unpack({...})), which is easy with Lua's explicit stack but will
require lots of tree-il gymnastics, or perhaps modifications to better
allow different calling conventions. (For instance -- how would we
support Python or Ruby, where keyword arguments are gathered into a
hashtable and passed as a single argument?)
What is there:
A fair shot at supporting Lua 5.1, not quite a drop-in replacement, but
not far from that goal either.
