* compiler/vmhooks: add getVar to allow vmops with var params
* addFloat vmops with var param
* cgen now renders float32 literals in c backend using roundtrip float to string
* Error -> Defect for defects
The distinction between Error and Defect is subjective,
context-dependent and somewhat arbitrary, so when looking at an
exception, it's hard to guess what it is - this happens often when
looking at a `raises` list _without_ opening the corresponding
definition and digging through layers of inheritance.
With the help of a little consistency in naming, it's at least possible
to start disentangling the two error types and the standard lib can set
a good example here.
* added 'lenient ops' module
* made lenient ops inline/noSideEffect; updated copyright
* moved tests into external module
* added warning for the '==' operator
* mentioned lenientops in the standard library overview
* removed test on nimout -- too fragile
* removed `==` and moved doc link to core section
fixes some potential issues with underscores in float literals.
adds more checks for badly positionned underscores in float literals.
adds more test files.
Float literals were not parsed properly when their fractional part
exceeded 53 significant bits. This affected in particular math.PI
and math.E. Rather than reinventing the wheel, this patch reuses
C's strtod() implementation, which already does the heavy lifting
with respect to correctness, though some caution is necessary to
keep float parsing locale-independent.
