fixes#22605, separated from #22744
This marks symbol captures in macro calls in generic contexts as
`nfOpenSym`, which means if there is a new symbol in the local
instantiatied body during instantiation time, this symbol replaces the
captured symbol. We have to be careful not to consider symbols outside
of the instantiation body during instantiation, because this will leak
symbols from the instantiation context scope rather than the original
declaration scope. This is done by checking if the local context owner
(maybe should be the symbol of the proc currently getting instantiated
instead? not sure how to get this) is the same as or a parent owner of
the owner of the replacement candidate symbol.
This solution is distinct from the symchoice mechanisms which we
originally assumed had to be related, if this assumption was wrong it
would explain why this solution took so long to arrive at.
Closes#14329
Marks `macros.error` as `.noreturn` so that it can be used in
expressions. This also fixes the issue that occurred in #19659 where a
stmt that could be an expression (Due to having `discardable` procs at
the end of other branches) would believe a `noreturn` proc is returning
the same type e.g.
```nim
proc bar(): int {.discardable.} = discard
if true: bar()
else: quit(0) # Says that quit is of type `int` and needs to be used/discarded except it actually has no return type
```
fixes#22227
rationale:
- `3u - 4u` is supported why not`3u.toRational - 4u.toRational`
- all of rationals' api is on SomeInteger, looks like unsigned is
declared as supported
- math on unsigned rationals is meaningful and useful.
Just makes the case statements easier to look at when folded
```nim
case foo
of a:
of b:
of c:
else:
case bar:
of a:
of b:
of c:
of d:
else:
```
to
```nim
case foo
of a:
of b:
of c:
else:
case bar:
of a:
of b:
of c:
of d:
else:
```
Currently pragmas just fall through to `suggestSentinel` and show
everything which isn't very useful. Now it filters for symbols that
could be pragmas (templates with `{.pragma.}`, macros, user pragmas) and
only shows them
When running `check`/`suggest` in a file with an invalid user pragma
like
```nim
{.pragma foo: test.}
```
It will continue to try and process it which leads to the compiler
running into a `FieldDefect`
```
fatal.nim(53) sysFatal
Error: unhandled exception: field 'sons' is not accessible for type 'TNode' using 'kind = nkIdent' [FieldDefect]
```
This makes it instead bail out trying to process the user pragma if its
invalid
In the docs for strutils.multiReplace:
Making it more explicit that left to right comes before the order in the
replacements arg (but that the latter matters too).
E.g.
```
echo "ab".multiReplace(@[("a", "1"), ("ax", "2")])
echo "ab".multiReplace(@[("ab", "2"), ("a", "1")])
```
gives
```
1b
2
```
resolves#23016
For example with the command `nim r foo/bar.nim`, if `foo/` doesn't
exist then it shows this message
```
oserrors.nim(92) raiseOSError
Error: unhandled exception: No such file or directory
Additional info: foo [OSError]
```
After PR it shows
```
Error: cannot open 'foo/bar.nim'
```
Which makes it line up with the error message if `foo/` did exist but
`bar.nim` didn't. Does this by using the same logic for [handling if the
file doesn't
exist](0dc12ec24b/compiler/options.nim (L785-L788))
I'm not sure if this is a complete fix, as it does not match the
expected output given in the issue. The expected output given in the
issue highlights the identifier after the `'` the same color as numeric
literals (blue), and this change does not address that. I think that
would involve simplifying `nimNumberPostfix`.
However, this fixes the issue where the routine declaration was rendered
as a string.
New rendering:
While looking at the CI I noticed that there's a couple false positives
for `case` statements that cannot be checked for exhaustiveness since my
changes, this should resolve them.

**TODO**
- [x] fixes changelog
With the new option `nimPreviewVtables`, `methods` are confined in the
same module where the type of the first parameter is defined
- [x] make it opt in after CI checks its feasibility
## In the following-up PRs
- [ ] in the following PRs, refactor code into a more efficient one
- [ ] cpp needs special treatments since it cannot embed array in light
of the preceding limits: ref
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/20977#discussion_r1035528927; we
can support cpp backends with vtable implementations later on the
comprise that uses indirect vtable access

Currently running `nimsuggest`/`check` on this code causes the compiler
to raise an exception
```nim
type
Test = enum
A = 9.0
```
```
assertions.nim(34) raiseAssert
Error: unhandled exception: int128.nim(69, 11) `arg.sdata(3) == 0` out of range [AssertionDefect]
```
Issue was the compiler still trying to get the ordinal value even if it
wasn't an ordinal
