mostly fixes the fact that it was allowed to assign to newly created temp variables. additionally attempts to get rid of null initialized seqs/strings (though they might pop up here and there); this simplifies a lot of things and makes code size smaller. even if null seqs/strings pop up here and there it's still better than all those bugs existing.
* formatting fixes
* CI fixes
* more CI fixes
* 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.
