First Phase 4 batch: the host-coupled fns whose logic is pure composition of
existing core primitives, so no new jolt.host surface is needed. vary-meta is
just (with-meta obj (apply f (meta obj) args)); namespace-munge is a char map
over str. Both land in the 20-coll tier; the Janet core-* defns and bindings
are gone. Added namespace-munge spec cases and a vary-meta extra-args case.
The heavily host-coupled fns (atom/var/transient internals, arrays, proxy,
futures) stay in Janet pending a thin host-primitive expansion.
Document the two fixed behaviors in the contract spec: (with-meta x nil) clears
metadata, and a multi-collection map keeps nil elements (they're values, not
end-of-seq). The reader grammar (doc/grammar.ebnf) is unchanged — this session
touched semantics/stdlib, not surface syntax.
The reader expanded ^X form to (with-meta form X), which evaluated the tag (so
^String errored 'Unable to resolve symbol: String') and, as a param, was no
longer a bare symbol (so the arg bound to nil). Now a keyword/symbol/string hint
on a symbol attaches to the symbol's :meta and the symbol stays bare, so type
hints are transparent in params, lets, and bodies. Map metadata still uses a
runtime with-meta form.
meta now returns a symbol's :meta, and def applies the name's metadata
(^:dynamic, ^:private, ^Type tag, ^{:doc}) to the var, so (meta (var x)) is
consistent. Specs in metadata-spec; grammar note in the ebnf.
README notes regex \p{...} as unsupported (separate from this).
Add spec suites covering lazy-seq/lazy-cat laziness, infinite + self-referential
seqs (ones/nats/fib), realized?; transducers (map/filter/take/cat/keep/mapcat as
xforms, comp, into/transduce/sequence/eduction/completing); and metadata
(with-meta/meta/vary-meta/^ reader). All passed against jolt as written — no
implementation changes needed. jpm test green.
