revert adding a test, should have been part of 00cd7b8ca backport

When calling procs from Nim in Nimscript you could hit the VM iteration limit even though the code is functioning properly. This resolves that by making the iteration limit reset eachtime you call a proc.

-      - Please check whether the problem still exists in the devel branch, which can be installed via [choosenim](https://github.com/nim-lang/choosenim/), [nightlies](https://github.com/nim-lang/nightlies/), or by [creating a temporary build of the compiler](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/intern.html#debugging-the-compiler-building-an-instrumented-compiler).
-      - Consider writing a PR targetting devel branch after filing this, see [contributing](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/contributing.html).
-      - If it's a pre-existing compiler bug, see [debugging the compiler](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/intern.html#debugging-the-compiler) which should give more context on a compiler crash.
-      - If it's a regression, you can help us by identifying which version introduced the bug by [bisecting](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/intern.html#bisecting-for-regressions) or at least trying known past releases (e.g. `choosenim 2.0.0`).
-        The Nim repo also supports bisecting in issue comments by adding `!nim c`, `!nim js` etc. before a code block, see [nimrun-action](https://github.com/juancarlospaco/nimrun-action).

-## Changes affecting backward compatibility
-
-- `-d:nimPreviewFloatRoundtrip` becomes the default. `system.addFloat` and `system.$` now can produce string representations of
-floating point numbers that are minimal in size and possess round-trip and correct
-rounding guarantees (via the
-[Dragonbox](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jk-jeon/dragonbox/master/other_files/Dragonbox.pdf) algorithm). Use `-d:nimLegacySprintf` to emulate old behaviors.
-
-- The `default` parameter of `tables.getOrDefault` has been renamed to `def` to
-  avoid conflicts with `system.default`, so named argument usage for this
-  parameter like `getOrDefault(..., default = ...)` will have to be changed.
-
-- With `-d:nimPreviewCheckedClose`, the `close` function in the `std/syncio` module now raises an IO exception in case of an error.
-
-- Unknown warnings and hints now gives warnings `warnUnknownNotes` instead of
-errors.
-
-- With `-d:nimPreviewAsmSemSymbol`, backticked symbols are type checked in the `asm/emit` statements.
-
-- The bare `except:` now panics on `Defect`. Use `except Exception:` or `except Defect:` to catch `Defect`. `--legacy:noPanicOnExcept` is provided for a transition period.
-
-- With `-d:nimPreviewCStringComparisons`, comparsions (`<`, `>`, `<=`, `>=`) between cstrings switch from reference semantics to value semantics like `==` and `!=`.
-
-- `std/parsesql` has been moved to a nimble package, use `nimble` or `atlas` to install it.
-
-- With `-d:nimPreviewDuplicateModuleError`, importing two modules that share the same name becomes a compile-time error. This includes importing the same module more than once. Use `import foo as foo1` (or other aliases) to avoid collisions.
-
-- Adds the switch `--mangle:nim|cpp`, which selects `nim` or `cpp` style name mangling when used with `debuginfo` on, defaults to `cpp`.
-
-- The second parameter of `succ`, `pred`, `inc`, and `dec` in `system` now accepts `SomeInteger` (previously `Ordinal`).
-
-- Bitshift operators (`shl`, `shr`, `ashr`) now apply bitmasking to the right operand in the C/C++/VM/JS backends.
-
-- Adds a new warning `--warning:ImplicitRangeConversion` that detects downsizing implicit conversions to range types (e.g., `int -> range[0..255]` or `range[1..256] -> range[0..255]`) that could cause runtime panics. Safe conversions like `range[0..255] -> range[0..65535]` and explicit casts do not trigger warnings. `int` to `Natural` and `Positive` conversions do not trigger warnings, which can be enabled with `--warning:systemRangeConversion`.
-
-- Procedure compatibility also checks the backend representation of the
-parameter and result types, not just their source-level shape. Use
-`--legacy:procParamTypeBackendAliases` to restore the older behavior.
 
 ## Standard library additions and changes
 
-[//]: # "Additions:"
+  For `net` and `nativesockets`, an `inheritable` flag has been added to all
+  `proc`s that create sockets, allowing the user to control whether the
+  resulting socket is inheritable. This flag is provided to ease the writing of
+  multi-process servers, where sockets inheritance is desired.
 
-- `setutils.symmetricDifference` along with its operator version
-  `` setutils.`-+-` `` and in-place version `setutils.toggle` have been added
-  to more efficiently calculate the symmetric difference of bitsets.
-- `strutils.multiReplace` overload for character set replacements in a single pass.
-	Useful for string sanitation. Follows existing multiReplace semantics.
+  For a transistion period, define `nimInheritHandles` to enable file handle
+  inheritance by default. This flag does **not** affect the `selectors` module
+  due to the differing semantics between operating systems.
 
-- `std/files` adds:
-  - Exports `CopyFlag` enum and `FilePermission` type for fine-grained control of file operations
-  - New file operation procs with `Path` support:
-    - `getFilePermissions`, `setFilePermissions` for managing permissions
-    - `tryRemoveFile` for file deletion
-    - `copyFile` with configurable buffer size and symlink handling
-    - `copyFileWithPermissions` to preserve file attributes
-    - `copyFileToDir` for copying files into directories
+  `system.setInheritable` and `nativesockets.setInheritable` is also introduced
+  for setting file handle or socket inheritance. Not all platform have these
+  `proc`s defined.
 
-- `std/dirs` adds:
-  - New directory operation procs with `Path` support:
-    - `copyDir` with special file handling options
-    - `copyDirWithPermissions` to recursively preserve attributes
+- The file descriptors created for internal bookkeeping by `ioselector_kqueue`
+  and `ioselector_epoll` will no longer be leaked to child processes.
 
-- `system.setLenUninit` now supports refc, JS and VM backends.
-- `system.setLenUninit` for the `string` type. Allows setting length without initializing new memory on growth.
+- `strutils.formatFloat` with `precision = 0` has been restored to the version
+  1 behaviour that produces a trailing dot, e.g. `formatFloat(3.14159, precision = 0)`
+  is now `3.`, not `3`.
+- `critbits` adds `commonPrefixLen`.
 
-- `std/parseopt` now supports multiple parser modes via a `CliMode` enum.
-  Modes include `Nim` (default, fully compatible) and two new experimental modes:
-  `Lax` and `Gnu` for different option parsing behaviors.
+- `relativePath(rel, abs)` and `relativePath(abs, rel)` used to silently give wrong results
+  (see #13222); instead they now use `getCurrentDir` to resolve those cases,
+  and this can now throw in edge cases where `getCurrentDir` throws.
+  `relativePath` also now works for js with `-d:nodejs`.
 
-- `std/nre2` is added to replace deprecated NRE.
+- JavaScript and NimScript standard library changes: `streams.StringStream` is
+  now supported in JavaScript, with the limitation that any buffer `pointer`s
+  used must be castable to `ptr string`, any incompatible pointer type will not
+  work. The `lexbase` and `streams` modules used to fail to compile on
+  NimScript due to a bug, but this has been fixed.
+  
+  The following modules now compile on both JS and NimScript: `parsecsv`,
+  `parsecfg`, `parsesql`, `xmlparser`, `htmlparser` and `ropes`. Additionally
+  supported for JS is `cstrutils.startsWith` and `cstrutils.endsWith`, for
+  NimScript: `json`, `parsejson`, `strtabs` and `unidecode`. 
 
-[//]: # "Changes:"
+- Added `streams.readStr` and `streams.peekStr` overloads to
+  accept an existing string to modify, which avoids memory
+  allocations, similar to `streams.readLine` (#13857).
+
+- Added high-level `asyncnet.sendTo` and `asyncnet.recvFrom`. UDP functionality.
+
+- `paramCount` & `paramStr` are now defined in os.nim instead of nimscript.nim for nimscript/nimble.
+- `dollars.$` now works for unsigned ints with `nim js`
+
+- Improvements to the `bitops` module, including bitslices, non-mutating versions
+  of the original masking functions, `mask`/`masked`, and varargs support for
+  `bitand`, `bitor`, and `bitxor`.
+
+- `sugar.=>` and `sugar.->` changes: Previously `(x, y: int)` was transformed
+  into `(x: auto, y: int)`, it now becomes `(x: int, y: int)` in consistency
+  with regular proc definitions (although you cannot use semicolons).
+  
+  Pragmas and using a name are now allowed on the lefthand side of `=>`. Here
+  is an aggregate example of these changes:
+  ```nim
+  import sugar
+
+  foo(x, y: int) {.noSideEffect.} => x + y
+
+  # is transformed into
+
+  proc foo(x: int, y: int): auto {.noSideEffect.} = x + y
+  ```
+- The fields of `times.DateTime` are now private, and are accessed with getters and deprecated setters.
+
+- The `times` module now handles the default value for `DateTime` more consistently. Most procs raise an assertion error when given
+  an uninitialized `DateTime`, the exceptions are `==` and `$` (which returns `"Uninitialized DateTime"`). The proc `times.isInitialized`
+  has been added which can be used to check if a `DateTime` has been initialized.
+
+- Fix a bug where calling `close` on io streams in osproc.startProcess was a noop and led to
+  hangs if a process had both reads from stdin and writes (eg to stdout).
+
+- The callback that is passed to `system.onThreadDestruction` must now be `.raises: []`.
+- The callback that is assigned to `system.onUnhandledException` must now be `.gcsafe`.
+
+- `osproc.execCmdEx` now takes an optional `input` for stdin, `workingDir` and `env`
+  parameters.
+
+- Added a `ssl_config` module containing lists of secure ciphers as recommended by
+  [Mozilla OpSec](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS)
+
+- `net.newContext` now defaults to the list of ciphers targeting
+  ["Intermediate compatibility"](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS#Intermediate_compatibility_.28recommended.29)
+  per Mozilla's recommendation instead of `ALL`. This change should protect
+  users from the use of weak and insecure ciphers while still provides
+  adequate compatibility with the majority of the Internet.
+
+- A new module `std/jsonutils` with hookable `jsonTo,toJson,fromJson` operations for json
+  serialization/deserialization of custom types was added.
+
+- A new proc `heapqueue.find[T](heap: HeapQueue[T], x: T): int` to get index of element ``x``
+  was added.
+- Added `rstgen.rstToLatex` convenience proc for `renderRstToOut` and `initRstGenerator`
+  with `outLatex` output.
+- Added `os.normalizeExe`, e.g.: `koch` => `./koch`.
+- `macros.newLit` now preserves named vs unnamed tuples; use `-d:nimHasWorkaround14720`
+  to keep old behavior.
+- Added `random.gauss`, that uses the ratio of uniforms method of sampling from a Gaussian distribution.
+- Added `typetraits.elementType` to get element type of an iterable.
+- `typetraits.$` changes: `$(int,)` is now `"(int,)"` instead of `"(int)"`;
+  `$tuple[]` is now `"tuple[]"` instead of `"tuple"`;
+  `$((int, float), int)` is now `"((int, float), int)"` instead of `"(tuple of (int, float), int)"`
+- Added `macros.extractDocCommentsAndRunnables` helper
+
+- `strformat.fmt` and `strformat.&` support `= specifier`. `fmt"{expr=}"` now
+  expands to `fmt"expr={expr}"`.
+- deprecations: `os.existsDir` => `dirExists`, `os.existsFile` => `fileExists`
+
+- Added `jsre` module, [Regular Expressions for the JavaScript target.](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions)
+- Made `maxLines` argument `Positive` in `logging.newRollingFileLogger`,
+  because negative values will result in a new file being created for each logged
+  line which doesn't make sense.
+- Changed `log` in `logging` to use proper log level on JavaScript target,
+  e.g. `debug` uses `console.debug`, `info` uses `console.info`, `warn` uses `console.warn`, etc.
+- Tables, HashSets, SharedTables and deques don't require anymore that the passed
+  initial size must be a power of two - this is done internally.
+  Proc `rightSize` for Tables and HashSets is deprecated, as it is not needed anymore.
+  `CountTable.inc` takes `val: int` again not `val: Positive`; I.e. it can "count down" again.
+- Removed deprecated symbols from `macros` module, deprecated as far back as `0.15`.
 
-- `std/math` The `^` symbol now supports floating-point as exponent in addition to the Natural type.
-- `min`, `max`, and `sequtils`' `minIndex`, `maxIndex` and `minmax` for `openArray`s now accept a comparison function.
-- `system.substr` implementation now uses `copymem` (wrapped C `memcpy`) for copying data, if available at compilation.
-- `system.newStringUninit` is now considered free of side-effects allowing it to be used with `--experimental:strictFuncs`.
-- `std/re` and `std/nre` are deprecated as PCRE library is obsolete.
-  Use https://github.com/nitely/nim-regex or `std/nre2`.
-  See: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/23668.
 
 ## Language changes
+- In newruntime it is now allowed to assign discriminator field without restrictions as long as case object doesn't have custom destructor. Discriminator value doesn't have to be a constant either. If you have custom destructor for case object and you do want to freely assign discriminator fields, it is recommended to refactor object into 2 objects like this: 
 
-- An experimental option `--experimental:typeBoundOps` has been added that
-  implements the RFC https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/380.
-  This makes the behavior of interfaces like `hash`, `$`, `==` etc. more
-  reliable for nominal types across indirect/restricted imports.
+- The `=destroy` hook no longer has to reset its target, as the compiler now automatically inserts
+  `wasMoved` calls where needed.
+- The `=` hook is now called `=copy` for clarity. The old name `=` is still available so there
+  is no need to update your code. This change was backported to 1.2 too so you can use the
+  more readability `=copy` without loss of compatibility.
+
+- In the newruntime it is now allowed to assign to the discriminator field

   ```
 
-  See the [experimental manual](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#typeminusbound-overloads)
-  for more information.

 ## Compiler changes
 
-- Fixed a bug where `sizeof(T)` inside a `typedesc` template called from a generic type's
-  `when` clause would error with "'sizeof' requires '.importc' types to be '.completeStruct'".
-  The issue was that `hasValuelessStatics` in `semtypinst.nim` didn't recognize
-  `tyTypeDesc(tyGenericParam)` as an unresolved generic parameter.
 
 ## Tool changes
 
-- Added `--raw` flag when generating JSON docs to not render markup.
-- Added `--stdinfile` flag to name of the file used when running program from stdin (defaults to `stdinfile.nim`)
-- Added `--styleCheck:warning` flag to treat style check violations as warnings.
-
-## Documentation changes
-
-- Added documentation for the `completeStruct` pragma in the manual.

-## Standard library additions and changes
-
-- Added some enhancements to `std/jsonutils` module.
-  * Added a possibility to deserialize JSON arrays directly to `HashSet` and
-    `OrderedSet` types and respectively to serialize those types to JSON arrays
-    via `jsonutils.fromJson` and `jsonutils.toJson` procedures.
-  * Added a possibility to deserialize JSON `null` objects to Nim option objects
-    and respectively to serialize Nim option object to JSON object if `isSome`
-    or to JSON null object if `isNone` via `jsonutils.fromJson` and
-    `jsonutils.toJson` procedures.
-  * Added a `Joptions` parameter to `jsonutils.fromJson` currently
-    containing two boolean options `allowExtraKeys` and `allowMissingKeys`.
-    - If `allowExtraKeys` is `true` Nim's object to which the JSON is parsed is
-      not required to have a field for every JSON key.
-    - If `allowMissingKeys` is `true` Nim's object to which JSON is parsed is
-      allowed to have fields without corresponding JSON keys.
-- Added `bindParams`, `bindParam` to `db_sqlite` for binding parameters into a `SqlPrepared` statement.
-- Added `tryInsert`,`insert` procs to `db_*` libs which accept primary key column name.
-- Added `xmltree.newVerbatimText` support create `style`'s,`script`'s text.
-- `uri` module now implements RFC-2397.
-- Added [DOM Parser](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DOMParser)
-  to the `dom` module for the JavaScript target.
-- The default hash for `Ordinal` has changed to something more bit-scrambling.
-  `import hashes; proc hash(x: myInt): Hash = hashIdentity(x)` recovers the old
-  one in an instantiation context while `-d:nimIntHash1` recovers it globally.
-- `deques.peekFirst` and `deques.peekLast` now have `var Deque[T] -> var T` overloads.
-- File handles created from high-level abstractions in the stdlib will no longer
-  be inherited by child processes. In particular, these modules are affected:
-  `asyncdispatch`, `asyncnet`, `system`, `nativesockets`, `net` and `selectors`.
-
-  For `asyncdispatch`, `asyncnet`, `net` and `nativesockets`, an `inheritable`
-  flag has been added to all `proc`s that create sockets, allowing the user to
-  control whether the resulting socket is inheritable. This flag is provided to
-  ease the writing of multi-process servers, where sockets inheritance is
-  desired.
-
-  For a transition period, define `nimInheritHandles` to enable file handle
-  inheritance by default. This flag does **not** affect the `selectors` module
-  due to the differing semantics between operating systems.
-
-  `asyncdispatch.setInheritable`, `system.setInheritable` and
-  `nativesockets.setInheritable` are also introduced for setting file handle or
-  socket inheritance. Not all platforms have these `proc`s defined.
-
-- The file descriptors created for internal bookkeeping by `ioselector_kqueue`
-  and `ioselector_epoll` will no longer be leaked to child processes.
-
-- `strutils.formatFloat` with `precision = 0` has been restored to the version
-  1 behaviour that produces a trailing dot, e.g. `formatFloat(3.14159, precision = 0)`
-  is now `3.`, not `3`.
-- Added `commonPrefixLen` to `critbits`.
-
-- `relativePath(rel, abs)` and `relativePath(abs, rel)` used to silently give wrong results
-  (see #13222); instead they now use `getCurrentDir` to resolve those cases,
-  and this can now throw in edge cases where `getCurrentDir` throws.
-  `relativePath` also now works for js with `-d:nodejs`.
-
-- JavaScript and NimScript standard library changes: `streams.StringStream` is
-  now supported in JavaScript, with the limitation that any buffer `pointer`s
-  used must be castable to `ptr string`, any incompatible pointer type will not
-  work. The `lexbase` and `streams` modules used to fail to compile on
-  NimScript due to a bug, but this has been fixed.
-
-  The following modules now compile on both JS and NimScript: `parsecsv`,
-  `parsecfg`, `parsesql`, `xmlparser`, `htmlparser` and `ropes`. Additionally
-  supported for JS is `cstrutils.startsWith` and `cstrutils.endsWith`, for
-  NimScript: `json`, `parsejson`, `strtabs` and `unidecode`.
-
-- Added `streams.readStr` and `streams.peekStr` overloads to
-  accept an existing string to modify, which avoids memory
-  allocations, similar to `streams.readLine` (#13857).
-
-- Added high-level `asyncnet.sendTo` and `asyncnet.recvFrom` UDP functionality.
-
-- `dollars.$` now works for unsigned ints with `nim js`.
-
-- Improvements to the `bitops` module, including bitslices, non-mutating versions
-  of the original masking functions, `mask`/`masked`, and varargs support for
-  `bitand`, `bitor`, and `bitxor`.
-
-- `sugar.=>` and `sugar.->` changes: Previously `(x, y: int)` was transformed
-  into `(x: auto, y: int)`, it now becomes `(x: int, y: int)` for consistency
-  with regular proc definitions (although you cannot use semicolons).
-
-  Pragmas and using a name are now allowed on the lefthand side of `=>`. Here
-  is an example of these changes:
-  ```nim
-  import sugar
-
-  foo(x, y: int) {.noSideEffect.} => x + y
-
-  # is transformed into
-
-  proc foo(x: int, y: int): auto {.noSideEffect.} = x + y
-  ```
-
-- The fields of `times.DateTime` are now private, and are accessed with getters and deprecated setters.
-
-- The `times` module now handles the default value for `DateTime` more consistently.
-  Most procs raise an assertion error when given
-  an uninitialized `DateTime`, the exceptions are `==` and `$` (which returns `"Uninitialized DateTime"`).
-  The proc `times.isInitialized` has been added which can be used to check if
-  a `DateTime` has been initialized.
-
-- Fix a bug where calling `close` on io streams in `osproc.startProcess` was a noop and led to
-  hangs if a process had both reads from stdin and writes (e.g. to stdout).
-
-- The callback that is passed to `system.onThreadDestruction` must now be `.raises: []`.
-- The callback that is assigned to `system.onUnhandledException` must now be `.gcsafe`.
-
-- `osproc.execCmdEx` now takes an optional `input` for stdin, `workingDir` and `env`
-  parameters.
-
-- Added a `ssl_config` module containing lists of secure ciphers as recommended by
-  [Mozilla OpSec](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS)
-
-- `net.newContext` now defaults to the list of ciphers targeting
-  ["Intermediate compatibility"](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS#Intermediate_compatibility_.28recommended.29)
-  per Mozilla's recommendation instead of `ALL`. This change should protect
-  users from the use of weak and insecure ciphers while still provides
-  adequate compatibility with the majority of the Internet.
-
-- A new module `std/jsonutils` with hookable `jsonTo,toJson,fromJson` operations for json
-  serialization/deserialization of custom types was added.
-
-- A new proc `heapqueue.find[T](heap: HeapQueue[T], x: T): int` to get index of element ``x``
-  was added.
-- Added `rstgen.rstToLatex` a convenience proc for `renderRstToOut` and `initRstGenerator`.
-- Added `os.normalizeExe`.
-- `macros.newLit` now preserves named vs unnamed tuples.
-- Added `random.gauss`, that uses the ratio of uniforms method of sampling from a Gaussian distribution.
-- Added `typetraits.elementType` to get the element type of an iterable.
-- `typetraits.$` changes: `$(int,)` is now `"(int,)"` instead of `"(int)"`;
-  `$tuple[]` is now `"tuple[]"` instead of `"tuple"`;
-  `$((int, float), int)` is now `"((int, float), int)"` instead of `"(tuple of (int, float), int)"`
-- Added `macros.extractDocCommentsAndRunnables` helper.
-
-- `strformat.fmt` and `strformat.&` support `specifier =`. `fmt"{expr=}"` now
-  expands to `fmt"expr={expr}"`.
-- Deprecations: instead of `os.existsDir` use `dirExists`, instead of `os.existsFile` use `fileExists`.
-
-- Added the `jsre` module, [Regular Expressions for the JavaScript target.](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions).
-- Made `maxLines` argument `Positive` in `logging.newRollingFileLogger`,
-  because negative values will result in a new file being created for each logged
-  line which doesn't make sense.
-- Changed `log` in `logging` to use proper log level for JavaScript,
-  e.g. `debug` uses `console.debug`, `info` uses `console.info`, `warn` uses `console.warn`, etc.
-- Tables, HashSets, SharedTables and deques don't require anymore that the passed
-  initial size must be a power of two - this is done internally.
-  Proc `rightSize` for Tables and HashSets is deprecated, as it is not needed anymore.
-  `CountTable.inc` takes `val: int` again not `val: Positive`; i.e. it can "count down" again.
-- Removed deprecated symbols from `macros` module, some of which were deprecated already in `0.15`.
-- Removed `sugar.distinctBase`, deprecated since `0.19`. Use `typetraits.distinctBase`.
-- `asyncdispatch.PDispatcher.handles` is exported so that an external low-level libraries can access it.
-
-- `std/with`, `sugar.dup` now support object field assignment expressions:
-  ```nim
-  import std/with
-
-  type Foo = object
-    x, y: int
-
-  var foo = Foo()
-  with foo:
-    x = 10
-    y = 20
-
-  echo foo
-  ```
-
-- Proc `math.round` is no longer deprecated. The advice to use `strformat` instead
-  cannot be applied to every use case. The limitations and the (lack of) reliability
-  of `round` are well documented.
-
-- Added `getprotobyname` to `winlean`. Added `getProtoByname` to `nativesockets` which returns a protocol code
-  from the database that matches the protocol `name`.
-
-- Added missing attributes and methods to `dom.Navigator` like `deviceMemory`, `onLine`, `vibrate()`, etc.
-
-- Added `strutils.indentation` and `strutils.dedent` which enable indented string literals:
-  ```nim
-  import strutils
-  echo dedent """
-    This
-      is
-        cool!
-    """
-  ```
-
-- Added `initUri(isIpv6: bool)` to `uri` module, now `uri` supports parsing ipv6 hostname.
-
-- Added `readLines(p: Process)` to `osproc`.
-
-- Added the below `toX` procs for collections. The usage is similar to procs such as
-  `sets.toHashSet` and `tables.toTable`. Previously, it was necessary to create the
-  respective empty collection and add items manually.
-    * `critbits.toCritBitTree`, which creates a `CritBitTree` from an `openArray` of
-       items or an `openArray` of pairs.
-    * `deques.toDeque`, which creates a `Deque` from an `openArray`.
-    * `heapqueue.toHeapQueue`, which creates a `HeapQueue` from an `openArray`.
-    * `intsets.toIntSet`, which creates an `IntSet` from an `openArray`.
-
-- Added `progressInterval` argument to `asyncftpclient.newAsyncFtpClient` to control the interval
-  at which progress callbacks are called.
-
-- Added `os.copyFileToDir`.
-
-## Language changes
-
-- The `=destroy` hook no longer has to reset its target, as the compiler now automatically inserts
-  `wasMoved` calls where needed.
-- The `=` hook is now called `=copy` for clarity. The old name `=` is still available so there
-  is no need to update your code. This change was backported to 1.2 too so you can use the
-  more readable `=copy` without loss of compatibility.
-
-- In the newruntime it is now allowed to assign to the discriminator field
-  without restrictions as long as the case object doesn't have a custom destructor.
-  The discriminator value doesn't have to be a constant either. If you have a
-  custom destructor for a case object and you do want to freely assign discriminator
-  fields, it is recommended to refactor the object into 2 objects like this:
-
-  ```nim
-  type
-    MyObj = object
-      case kind: bool
-      of true: y: ptr UncheckedArray[float]
-      of false: z: seq[int]
-
-  proc `=destroy`(x: MyObj) =
-    if x.kind and x.y != nil:
-      deallocShared(x.y)
-  ```
-  Refactor into:
-  ```nim
-  type
-    MySubObj = object
-      val: ptr UncheckedArray[float]
-    MyObj = object
-      case kind: bool
-      of true: y: MySubObj
-      of false: z: seq[int]
-
-  proc `=destroy`(x: MySubObj) =
-    if x.val != nil:
-      deallocShared(x.val)
-  ```
-- `getImpl` on enum type symbols now returns field syms instead of idents. This helps
-  with writing typed macros. The old behavior for backwards compatibility can be restored
-  with `--useVersion:1.0`.
-- The typed AST for proc headers will now have the arguments be syms instead of idents.
-  This helps with writing typed macros. The old behaviour for backwards compatibility can
-  be restored with `--useVersion:1.0`.
-- ``let`` statements can now be used without a value if declared with
-  ``importc``/``importcpp``/``importjs``/``importobjc``.
-- The keyword `from` is now usable as an operator.
-- Exceptions inheriting from `system.Defect` are no longer tracked with
-  the `.raises: []` exception tracking mechanism. This is more consistent with the
-  built-in operations. The following always used to compile (and still does):
-  ```nim
-  proc mydiv(a, b): int {.raises: [].} =
-    a div b # can raise an DivByZeroDefect
-  ```
-
-  Now also this compiles:
-  ```nim
-  proc mydiv(a, b): int {.raises: [].} =
-    if b == 0: raise newException(DivByZeroDefect, "division by zero")
-    else: result = a div b
-  ```
-
-  The reason for this is that `DivByZeroDefect` inherits from `Defect` and
-  with `--panics:on` `Defects` become unrecoverable errors.
-
-- Added the `thiscall` calling convention as specified by Microsoft, mostly for hooking purposes.
-- Deprecated the `{.unroll.}` pragma, because it was always ignored by the compiler anyway.
-- Removed the deprecated `strutils.isNilOrWhitespace`.
-- Removed the deprecated `sharedtables.initSharedTable`.
-- Removed the deprecated `asyncdispatch.newAsyncNativeSocket`.
-- Removed the deprecated `dom.releaseEvents` and `dom.captureEvents`.
-
-- Removed `sharedlist.initSharedList`, was deprecated and produces undefined behaviour.
-
-- There is a new experimental feature called "strictFuncs" which makes the definition of
-  `.noSideEffect` stricter. [See here](manual_experimental.html#stricts-funcs)
-  for more information.
-
-- "for-loop macros" (see [the manual](manual.html#macros-for-loop-macros)) are no longer
-  an experimental feature. In other words, you don't have to write pragma
-  `{.experimental: "forLoopMacros".}` if you want to use them.
-
-- Added the ``.noalias`` pragma. It is mapped to C's ``restrict`` keyword for the increased
-  performance this keyword can enable.
-
-- `items` no longer compiles with enums with holes as its behavior was error prone, see #14004.
-- `system.deepcopy` has to be enabled explicitly for `--gc:arc` and `--gc:orc` via
-  `--deepcopy:on`.
-
-- Added the `std/effecttraits` module for introspection of the inferred effects.
-  We hope this enables `async` macros that are precise about the possible exceptions that
-  can be raised.
-- The pragma blocks `{.gcsafe.}: ...` and `{.noSideEffect.}: ...` can now also be
-  written as `{.cast(gcsafe).}: ...` and `{.cast(noSideEffect).}: ...`. This is the new
-  preferred way of writing these, emphasizing their unsafe nature.
-
-
-## Compiler changes
-
-- Specific warnings can now be turned into errors via `--warningAsError[X]:on|off`.
-- The `define` and `undef` pragmas have been de-deprecated.
-- New command: `nim r main.nim [args...]` which compiles and runs main.nim, and implies `--usenimcache`
-  so that the output is saved to $nimcache/main$exeExt, using the same logic as `nim c -r` to
-  avoid recompilations when sources don't change.
-  Example:
-  ```bash
-  nim r compiler/nim.nim --help # only compiled the first time
-  echo 'import os; echo getCurrentCompilerExe()' | nim r - # this works too
-  nim r compiler/nim.nim --fullhelp # no recompilation
-  nim r --nimcache:/tmp main # binary saved to /tmp/main
-  ```
-- `--hint:processing` is now supported and means `--hint:processing:on`
-  (likewise with other hints and warnings), which is consistent with all other bool flags.
-  (since 1.3.3).
-- `nim doc -r main` and `nim rst2html -r main` now call `openDefaultBrowser`.
-- Added the new hint `--hint:msgOrigin` will show where a compiler msg (hint|warning|error)
-  was generated; this helps in particular when it's non obvious where it came from
-  either because multiple locations generate the same message, or because the
-  message involves runtime formatting.
-- Added the new flag `--backend:js|c|cpp|objc` (or -b:js etc), to change the backend; can be
-  used with any command (e.g. nim r, doc, check etc); safe to re-assign.
-- Added the new flag `--doccmd:cmd` to pass additional flags for runnableExamples,
-  e.g.: `--doccmd:-d:foo --threads`
-  use `--doccmd:skip` to skip runnableExamples and rst test snippets.
-- Added the new flag `--usenimcache` to output binary files to nimcache.
-- `runnableExamples "-b:cpp -r:off": code` is now supported, allowing to override
-  how an example is compiled and run, for example to change the backend.
-- `nim doc` now outputs under `$projectPath/htmldocs` when `--outdir` is unspecified
-  (with or without `--project`); passing `--project` now automatically generates
-  an index and enables search.
-  See [docgen](docgen.html#introduction-quick-start) for details.
-- Removed the `--oldNewlines` switch.
-- Removed the `--laxStrings` switch for mutating the internal zero terminator on strings.
-- Removed the `--oldast` switch.
-- Removed the `--oldgensym` switch.
-- `$getType(untyped)` is now "untyped" instead of "expr", `$getType(typed)` is
-  now "typed" instead of "stmt".
-- Sink inference is now disabled per default and has to enabled explicitly via
-  `--sinkInference:on`. *Note*: For the standard library sink inference remains
-  enabled. This change is most relevant for the `--gc:arc`, `--gc:orc` memory
-  management modes.
-
-
-## Tool changes
-
-- `nimsuggest` now returns both the forward declaration and the
-  implementation location upon a `def` query. Previously the behavior was
-  to return the forward declaration only.
-
-

-
-
-
-# Major new features
-
-With so many new features, pinpointing the most salient ones is a subjective exercise,
-but here are a select few:
-
-
-## `iterable[T]`
-
-The `iterable[T]` type class was added to match called iterators,
-which solves a number of long-standing issues related to iterators.
-Example:
-
-```nim
-iterator iota(n: int): int =
-  for i in 0..<n: yield i
-
-# previously, you'd need `untyped`, which caused other problems such as lack
-# of type inference, overloading issues, and MCS.
-template sumOld(a: untyped): untyped = # no type inference possible
-  var result: typeof(block:(for ai in a: ai))
-  for ai in a: result += ai
-  result
-
-assert sumOld(iota(3)) == 0 + 1 + 2
-
-# now, you can write:
-template sum[T](a: iterable[T]): T =
-  # `template sum(a: iterable): auto =` would also be possible
-  var result: T
-  for ai in a: result += ai
-  result
-
-assert sum(iota(3)) == 0 + 1 + 2 # or `iota(3).sum`
-```
-
-In particular iterable arguments can now be used with the method call syntax. For example:
-```nim
-import std/[sequtils, os]
-echo walkFiles("*").toSeq # now works
-```
-See PR [#17196](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/17196) for additional details.
-
-
-## Strict effects
-
-The effect system was refined and there is a new `.effectsOf` annotation that does
-explicitly what was previously done implicitly. See the
-[manual](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#effect-system-effectsof-annotation)
-for more details.
-To write code that is portable with older Nim versions, use this idiom:
-
-```nim
-when defined(nimHasEffectsOf):
-  {.experimental: "strictEffects".}
-else:
-  {.pragma: effectsOf.}
-
-proc mysort(s: seq; cmp: proc(a, b: T): int) {.effectsOf: cmp.}
-```
-
-To enable the new effect system, compile with `--experimental:strictEffects`.
-See also [#18777](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18777) and RFC
-[#408](https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/408).
-
-
-## Private imports and private field access
-
-A new import syntax `import foo {.all.}` now allows importing all symbols
-(public or private) from `foo`.
-This can be useful for testing purposes or for more flexibility in project organization.
-
-Example:
-```nim
-from system {.all.} as system2 import nil
-echo system2.ThisIsSystem # ThisIsSystem is private in `system`
-import os {.all.} # weirdTarget is private in `os`
-echo weirdTarget # or `os.weirdTarget`
-```
-
-Added a new module `std/importutils`, and an API `privateAccess`, which allows access
-to private fields for an object type in the current scope.
-
-Example:
-```nim
-import times
-from std/importutils import privateAccess
-block:
-  let t = now()
-  # echo t.monthdayZero # Error: undeclared field: 'monthdayZero' for type times.DateTime
-  privateAccess(typeof(t)) # enables private access in this scope
-  echo t.monthdayZero # ok
-```
-
-See PR [#17706](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/17706) for additional details.
-
-
-## `nim --eval:cmd`
-
-Added `nim --eval:cmd` to evaluate a command directly, e.g.: `nim --eval:"echo 1"`.
-It defaults to `e` (nimscript) but can also work with other commands, e.g.:
-```bash
-find . | nim r --eval:'import strutils; for a in stdin.lines: echo a.toUpper'
-```
-
-```bash
-# use as a calculator:
-nim --eval:'echo 3.1 / (1.2+7)'
-# explore a module's APIs, including private symbols:
-nim --eval:'import os {.all.}; echo weirdTarget'
-# use a custom backend:
-nim r -b:js --eval:"import std/jsbigints; echo 2'big ** 64'big"
-```
-
-See PR [#15687](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/15687) for more details.
-
-
-## Round-trip float to string
-
-`system.addFloat` and `system.$` now can produce string representations of
-floating point numbers that are minimal in size and possess round-trip and correct
-rounding guarantees (via the
-[Dragonbox](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jk-jeon/dragonbox/master/other_files/Dragonbox.pdf) algorithm).
-This currently has to be enabled via `-d:nimPreviewFloatRoundtrip`.
-It is expected that this behavior becomes the new default in upcoming versions,
-as with other `nimPreviewX` define flags.
-
-Example:
-```nim
-from math import round
-let a = round(9.779999999999999, 2)
-assert a == 9.78
-echo a # with `-d:nimPreviewFloatRoundtrip`: 9.78, like in python3 (instead of  9.779999999999999)
-```
-
-
-## New `std/jsbigints` module
-
-Provides arbitrary precision integers for the JS target. See PR
-[#16409](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/16409).
-Example:
-```nim
-import std/jsbigints
-assert 2'big ** 65'big == 36893488147419103232'big
-echo 0xdeadbeef'big shl 4'big # 59774856944n
-```
-
-
-## New `std/sysrand` module
-Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator,
-allows generating random numbers from a secure source provided by the operating system.
-Example:
-```nim
-import std/sysrand
-assert urandom(1234) != urandom(1234) # unlikely to fail in practice
-```
-See PR [#16459](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/16459).
-
-
-## New module: `std/tempfiles`
-
-Allows creating temporary files and directories, see PR
-[#17361](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/17361) and followups.
-```nim
-import std/tempfiles
-let tmpPath = genTempPath("prefix", "suffix.log", "/tmp/")
-# tmpPath looks like: /tmp/prefixpmW1P2KLsuffix.log
-
-let dir = createTempDir("tmpprefix_", "_end")
-# created dir looks like: getTempDir() / "tmpprefix_YEl9VuVj_end"
-
-let (cfile, path) = createTempFile("tmpprefix_", "_end.tmp")
-# path looks like: getTempDir() / "tmpprefix_FDCIRZA0_end.tmp"
-cfile.write "foo"
-cfile.setFilePos 0
-assert readAll(cfile) == "foo"
-close cfile
-assert readFile(path) == "foo"
-```
-
-
-## User-defined literals
-
-Custom numeric literals (e.g. `-128'bignum`) are now supported.
-Additionally, the unary minus in `-1` is now part of the integer literal, i.e.
-it is now parsed as a single token.
-This implies that edge cases like `-128'i8` finally work correctly.
-Example:
-```nim
-func `'big`*(num: cstring): JsBigInt {.importjs: "BigInt(#)".}
-assert 0xffffffffffffffff'big == (1'big shl 64'big) - 1'big
-```
-
-
-## Dot-like operators
-
-With `-d:nimPreviewDotLikeOps`, dot-like operators (operators starting with `.`,
-but not with `..`) now have the same precedence as `.`, so that `a.?b.c` is now
-parsed as `(a.?b).c` instead of `a.?(b.c)`.
-A warning is generated when a dot-like operator is used without `-d:nimPreviewDotLikeOps`.
-
-An important use case is to enable dynamic fields without affecting the
-built-in `.` operator, e.g. for `std/jsffi`, `std/json`, `pkg/nimpy`. Example:
-```nim
-import std/json
-template `.?`(a: JsonNode, b: untyped{ident}): JsonNode =
-  a[astToStr(b)]
-let j = %*{"a1": {"a2": 10}}
-assert j.?a1.?a2.getInt == 10
-```
-
-
-## Block arguments now support optional parameters
-
-This solves a major pain point for routines accepting block parameters,
-see PR [#18631](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18631) for details:
-
-```nim
-template fn(a = 1, b = 2, body) = discard
-fn(1, 2): # already works
-  bar
-fn(a = 1): # now works
-  bar
-```
-
-Likewise with multiple block arguments via `do`:
-```nim
-template fn(a = 1, b = 2, body1, body2) = discard
-fn(a = 1): # now works
-  bar1
-do:
-  bar2
-```
-
-
-# Other new features
-
-## New and deprecated modules
-
-The following modules were added (they are discussed in the rest of the text):
-- `std/enumutils`
-- `std/genasts`
-- `std/importutils`
-- `std/jsbigints`
-- `std/jsfetch`
-- `std/jsformdata`
-- `std/jsheaders`
-- `std/packedsets`
-- `std/setutils`
-- `std/socketstreams`
-- `std/strbasics`
-- `std/sysrand`
-- `std/tasks`
-- `std/tempfiles`
-- `std/vmutils`
-
-- Deprecated `std/mersenne`.
-- Removed deprecated `std/iup` module from stdlib; it has already moved to
-  [nimble](https://github.com/nim-lang/iup).
-
-
-## New `std/jsfetch` module
-
-Provides a wrapper for JS Fetch API.
-Example:
-```nim
-# requires -d:nimExperimentalAsyncjsThen
-import std/[jsfetch, asyncjs, jsconsole, jsffi, sugar]
-proc fn {.async.} =
-  await fetch("https://api.github.com/users/torvalds".cstring)
-    .then((response: Response) => response.json())
-    .then((json: JsObject) => console.log(json))
-    .catch((err: Error) => console.log("Request Failed", err))
-discard fn()
-```
-
-
-## New `std/tasks` module
-
-Provides basic primitives for creating parallel programs.
-Example:
-```nim
-import std/tasks
-var num = 0
-proc hello(a: int) = num+=a
-
-let b = toTask hello(13) # arguments must be isolated, see `std/isolation`
-b.invoke()
-assert num == 13
-b.invoke() # can be called again
-assert num == 26
-```
-
-
-## New module: `std/genasts`
-
-Provides an API `genAst` that avoids the problems inherent with `quote do` and can
-be used as a replacement.
-Example showing how this could be used for writing a simplified version of `unittest.check`:
-```nim
-import std/[genasts, macros, strutils]
-macro check2(cond: bool): untyped =
-  assert cond.kind == nnkInfix, "$# not implemented" % $cond.kind
-  result = genAst(cond, s = repr(cond), lhs = cond[1], rhs = cond[2]):
-    # each local symbol we access must be explicitly captured
-    if not cond:
-      doAssert false, "'$#'' failed: lhs: '$#', rhs: '$#'" % [s, $lhs, $rhs]
-let a = 3
-check2 a*2 == a+3
-if false: check2 a*2 < a+1 # would error with: 'a * 2 < a + 1'' failed: lhs: '6', rhs: '4'
-```
-
-See PR [#17426](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/17426) for details.
-
-
-## New module: `std/setutils`
-
-- Added `setutils.toSet` that can take any iterable and convert it to a built-in `set`,
-  if the iterable yields a built-in settable type.
-- Added `setutils.fullSet` which returns a full built-in `set` for a valid type.
-- Added `setutils.complement` which returns the complement of a built-in `set`.
-- Added `setutils.[]=`.
-
-
-## New module: `std/enumutils`
-
-- Added `genEnumCaseStmt` macro that generates
-  case statement to parse string to enum.
-- Added `items` for enums with holes.
-- Added `symbolName` to return the `enum` symbol name ignoring the human-readable name.
-- Added `symbolRank` to return the index in which an `enum` member is listed in an enum.
-
-
-## `system`
-
-- Added `system.prepareMutation` for better support of low
-  level `moveMem`, `copyMem` operations for `gc:orc`'s copy-on-write string
-  implementation.
-- `system.addEscapedChar` now renders `\r` as `\r` instead of `\c`, to be compatible
-  with most other languages.
-- Added `cmpMem` to `system`.
-- `doAssertRaises` now correctly handles foreign exceptions.
-- `addInt` now supports unsigned integers.
-
-Compatibility notes:
-- `system.delete` had surprising behavior when the index passed to it was out of
-  bounds (it would delete the last entry then). Compile with `-d:nimStrictDelete` so
-  that an index error is produced instead. Be aware however that your code might depend on
-  this quirky behavior so a review process is required on your part before you can
-  use `-d:nimStrictDelete`. To make this review easier, use the `-d:nimAuditDelete`
-  switch, which pretends that `system.delete` is deprecated so that it is easier
-  to see where it was used in your code.
-  `-d:nimStrictDelete` will become the default in upcoming versions.
-- `cuchar` is now deprecated as it aliased `char` where arguably it should have aliased `uint8`.
-  Please use `char` or `uint8` instead.
-- `repr` now doesn't insert trailing newlines; the previous behavior was very inconsistent,
-  see [#16034](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/16034).
-  Use `-d:nimLegacyReprWithNewline` for the previous behavior.
-  `repr` now also renders ASTs correctly for user defined literals, setters, `do`, etc.
-- Deprecated `any`. See RFC [#281](https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/281).
-- The unary slice `..b` was deprecated, use `0..b` instead.
-
-
-## `std/math`
-
-- Added `almostEqual` for comparing two float values using a machine epsilon.
-- Added `clamp` which allows using a `Slice` to clamp to a value.
-- Added `ceilDiv` for integer division that rounds up.
-- Added `isNaN`.
-- Added `copySign`.
-- Added `euclDiv` and `euclMod`.
-- Added `signbit`.
-- Added `frexp` overload procs. Deprecated `c_frexp`, use `frexp` instead.
-
-Compatibility notes:
-- `math.round` now rounds "away from zero" in the JS backend, which is consistent
-  with other backends. See [#9125](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/9125).
-  Use `-d:nimLegacyJsRound` for the previous behavior.
-
-
-## Random number generators: `std/random`, `std/sysrand`, `std/oids`
-
-- Added `std/sysrand` module (see details above).
-- Added `randState` template that exposes the default random number generator.
-  Useful for library authors.
-- Added `initRand()` overload with no argument which uses the current time as a seed.
-- `initRand(seed)` now allows `seed == 0`.
-- Fixed overflow bugs.
-- Fix `initRand` to avoid random number sequences overlapping, refs
-  [#18744](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18744).
-- `std/oids` now uses `std/random`.
-
-Compatibility notes:
-- Deprecated `std/mersenne`.
-- `random.initRand(seed)` now produces non-skewed values for the first call to
-  `rand()` after initialization with a small (< 30000) seed.
-  Use `-d:nimLegacyRandomInitRand` to restore previous behavior for a transition
-  time, see PR [#17467](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/17467).
-
-
-## `std/json`, `std/jsonutils`
-
-- With `-d:nimPreviewJsonutilsHoleyEnum`, `jsonutils` now can serialize/deserialize
-  holey enums as regular enums (via `ord`) instead of as strings.
-  It is expected that this behavior becomes the new default in upcoming versions.
- `toJson` now serializes `JsonNode` as is via reference (without a deep copy)
-   instead of treating `JsonNode` as a regular ref object,
-  this can be customized via `jsonNodeMode`.
-- `std/json` and `std/jsonutils` now serialize `NaN`, `Inf`, `-Inf` as strings,
-  so that `%[NaN, -Inf]` is the string `["nan","-inf"]` instead of `[nan,-inf]`
-  which was invalid JSON.
-- `std/json` can now handle integer literals and floating point literals of
-  arbitrary length and precision.
-  Numbers that do not fit the underlying `BiggestInt` or `BiggestFloat` fields are
-  kept as string literals and one can use external BigNum libraries to handle these.
-  The `parseFloat` family of functions also has now optional `rawIntegers` and
-  `rawFloats` parameters that can be used to enforce that all integer or float
-  literals remain in the "raw" string form so that client code can easily treat
-  small and large numbers uniformly.
-- Added `BackwardsIndex` overload for `JsonNode`.
-- `json.%`,`json.to`, `jsonutils.fromJson`,`jsonutils.toJson` now work with `uint|uint64`
-  instead of raising (as in 1.4) or giving wrong results (as in 1.2).
-- `std/jsonutils` now handles `cstring` (including as Table key), and `set`.
-- Added `jsonutils.jsonTo` overload with `opt = Joptions()` param.
-- `jsonutils.toJson` now supports customization via `ToJsonOptions`.
-- `std/json`, `std/jsonutils` now support round-trip serialization when
-  `-d:nimPreviewFloatRoundtrip` is used.
-
-
-## `std/typetraits`, `std/compilesettings`
-
-- `distinctBase` now is identity instead of error for non distinct types.
-- `distinctBase` now allows controlling whether to be recursive or not.
-- Added `enumLen` to return the number of elements in an enum.
-- Added `HoleyEnum` for enums with holes, `OrdinalEnum` for enums without holes.
-- Added `hasClosure`.
-- Added `pointerBase` to return `T` for `ref T | ptr T`.
-- Added `compilesettings.SingleValueSetting.libPath`.
-
-
-## networking: `std/net`, `std/asyncnet`, `std/htmlgen`, `std/httpclient`, `std/asyncdispatch`, `std/asynchttpserver`, `std/httpcore`
-
-- Fixed buffer overflow bugs in `std/net`.
-- Exported `sslHandle` from `std/net` and `std/asyncnet`.
-- Added `hasDataBuffered` to `std/asyncnet`.
-- Various functions in `std/httpclient` now accept `url` of type `Uri`.
-  Moreover, the `request` function's `httpMethod` argument of type `string` was
-  deprecated in favor of `HttpMethod` `enum` type; see
-  [#15919](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/15919).
-- Added `asyncdispatch.activeDescriptors` that returns the number of currently
-  active async event handles/file descriptors.
-- Added `getPort` to `std/asynchttpserver` to resolve OS-assigned `Port(0)`;
-  this is usually recommended instead of hardcoding ports which can lead to
-  "Address already in use" errors.
-- Fixed premature garbage collection in `std/asyncdispatch`, when a stacktrace
-  override is in place.
-- Added `httpcore.is1xx` and missing HTTP codes.
-- Added `htmlgen.portal` for [making "SPA style" pages using HTML only](https://web.dev/hands-on-portals).
-
-Compatibility notes:
-- On Windows, the SSL library now checks for valid certificates.
-  For this purpose it uses the `cacert.pem` file, which was extracted
-  from `https://curl.se/ca/cacert.pem`. Besides
-  the OpenSSL DLLs (e.g. `libssl-1_1-x64.dll`, `libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll`) you
-  now also need to ship `cacert.pem` with your `.exe` file.
-
-
-## `std/hashes`
-
-- `hashes.hash` can now support `object` and `ref` (can be overloaded in user code),
-  if `-d:nimPreviewHashRef` is used. It is expected that this behavior
-  becomes the new default in upcoming versions.
-- `hashes.hash(proc|ptr|ref|pointer)` now calls `hash(int)` and honors `-d:nimIntHash1`.
-  `hashes.hash(closure)` has also been improved.
-
-
-## OS: `std/os`, `std/io`, `std/socketstream`, `std/linenoise`, `std/tempfiles`
-
-- `os.FileInfo` (returned by `getFileInfo`) now contains `blockSize`,
-  determining preferred I/O block size for this file object.
-- Added `os.getCacheDir()` to return platform specific cache directory.
-- Improved `os.getTempDir()`, see PR [#16914](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/16914).
-- Added `os.isAdmin` to tell whether the caller's process is a member of the
-  Administrators local group (on Windows) or a root (on POSIX).
-- Added optional `options` argument to `copyFile`, `copyFileToDir`, and
-  `copyFileWithPermissions`. By default, on non-Windows OSes, symlinks are
-  followed (copy files symlinks point to); on Windows, `options` argument is
-  ignored and symlinks are skipped.
-- On non-Windows OSes, `copyDir` and `copyDirWithPermissions` copy symlinks as
-  symlinks (instead of skipping them as it was before); on Windows symlinks are
-  skipped.
-- On non-Windows OSes, `moveFile` and `moveDir` move symlinks as symlinks
-  (instead of skipping them sometimes as it was before).
-- Added optional `followSymlinks` argument to `setFilePermissions`.
-- Added a simpler to use `io.readChars` overload.
-- Added `socketstream` module that wraps sockets in the stream interface.
-- Added experimental `linenoise.readLineStatus` to get line and status (e.g. ctrl-D or ctrl-C).
-
-
-## Environment variable handling
-
-- Empty environment variable values are now supported across OS's and backends.
-- Environment variable APIs now work in multithreaded scenarios, by delegating to
-  direct OS calls instead of trying to keep track of the environment.
-- `putEnv`, `delEnv` now work at compile time.
-- NodeJS backend now supports osenv: `getEnv`, `putEnv`, `envPairs`, `delEnv`, `existsEnv`.
-
-Compatibility notes:
-- `std/os`: `putEnv` now raises if the first argument contains a `=`.
-
-
-## POSIX
-
-- On POSIX systems, the default signal handlers used for Nim programs (it's
-  used for printing the stacktrace on fatal signals) will now re-raise the
-  signal for the OS default handlers to handle.
-  This lets the OS perform its default actions, which might include core
-  dumping (on select signals) and notifying the parent process about the cause
-  of termination.
-- On POSIX systems, we now ignore `SIGPIPE` signals, use `-d:nimLegacySigpipeHandler`
-  for previous behavior.
-- Added `posix_utils.osReleaseFile` to get system identification from `os-release`
-  file on Linux and the BSDs.
-  ([link](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html))
-- Removed undefined behavior for `posix.open`.
-
-
-## `std/prelude`
-
-- `std/strformat` is now part of `include std/prelude`.
-- Added `std/sequtils` import to `std/prelude`.
-- `std/prelude` now works with the JS target.
-- `std/prelude` can now be used via `include std/prelude`, but `include prelude` still works.
-
-
-## String manipulation: `std/strformat`, `std/strbasics`
-
-- Added support for parenthesized expressions.
-- Added support for const strings instead of just string literals.
-- Added `std/strbasics` for high-performance string operations.
-- Added `strip`, `setSlice`, `add(a: var string, b: openArray[char])`.
-
-
-## `std/wrapnils`
-
-- `std/wrapnils` doesn't use `experimental:dotOperators` anymore, avoiding
-  issues like bug [#13063](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/13063)
-  (which affected error messages) for modules importing `std/wrapnils`.
-- Added `??.` macro which returns an `Option`.
-- `std/wrapnils` can now be used to protect against `FieldDefect` errors in
-  case objects, generates optimal code (no overhead compared to manual
-  if-else branches), and preserves lvalue semantics which allows modifying
-  an expression.
-
-
-## Containers: `std/algorithm`, `std/lists`, `std/sequtils`, `std/options`, `std/packedsets`
-
-- Removed the optional `longestMatch` parameter of the `critbits._WithPrefix`
-  iterators (it never worked reliably).
-- Added `algorithm.merge`.
-- In `std/lists`: renamed `append` to `add` and retained `append` as an alias;
-  added `prepend` and `prependMoved` analogously to `add` and `addMoved`;
-  added `remove` for `SinglyLinkedList`s.
-- Added new operations for singly- and doubly linked lists: `lists.toSinglyLinkedList`
-  and `lists.toDoublyLinkedList` convert from `openArray`s; `lists.copy` implements
-  shallow copying; `lists.add` concatenates two lists - an O(1) variation that consumes
-  its argument, `addMoved`, is also supplied.
-  See PRs [#16362](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/16362),
-  [#16536](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/16536).
-- New module: `std/packedsets`.
-  Generalizes `std/intsets`, see PR [#15564](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/15564).
-
-Compatibility notes:
-- Deprecated `sequtils.delete` and added an overload taking a `Slice` that raises
-  a defect if the slice is out of bounds, likewise with `strutils.delete`.
-- Deprecated `proc reversed*[T](a: openArray[T], first: Natural, last: int): seq[T]`
-  in `std/algorithm`.
-- `std/options` changed `$some(3)` to `"some(3)"` instead of `"Some(3)"`
-  and `$none(int)` to `"none(int)"` instead of `"None[int]"`.
-
-
-## `std/times`
-
-- Added `ZZZ` and `ZZZZ` patterns to `times.nim` `DateTime` parsing, to match time
-  zone offsets without colons, e.g. `UTC+7 -> +0700`.
-- Added `dateTime` and deprecated `initDateTime`.
-
-
-## `std/macros` and AST
-
-- New module `std/genasts`, see description above.
-- The required name of case statement macros for the experimental
-  `caseStmtMacros` feature has changed from `match` to `` `case` ``.
-- Tuple expressions are now parsed consistently as
-  `nnkTupleConstr` node. Will affect macros expecting nodes to be of `nnkPar`.
-- In `std/macros`, `treeRepr,lispRepr,astGenRepr` now represent SymChoice nodes
-  in a collapsed way.
-  Use `-d:nimLegacyMacrosCollapseSymChoice` to get the previous behavior.
-- Made custom op in `macros.quote` work for all statements.
-
-
-## `std/sugar`
-
-- Added `sugar.dumpToString` which improves on `sugar.dump`.
-- Added an overload for the `collect` macro that infers the container type based
-  on the syntax of the last expression. Works with std seqs, tables and sets.
-
-Compatibility notes:
-- Removed support for named procs in `sugar.=>`.
-
-
-## Parsing: `std/parsecfg`, `std/strscans`, `std/uri`
-
-- Added `sections` iterator in `parsecfg`.
-- `strscans.scanf` now supports parsing single characters.
-- Added `strscans.scanTuple` which uses `strscans.scanf` internally,
-  returning a tuple which can be unpacked for easier usage of `scanf`.
-- Added `decodeQuery` to `std/uri`.
-- `parseopt.initOptParser` has been made available and `parseopt` has been
-  added back to `std/prelude` for all backends. Previously `initOptParser` was
-  unavailable if the `std/os` module did not have `paramCount` or `paramStr`,
-  but the use of these in `initOptParser` were conditionally to the runtime
-  arguments passed to it, so `initOptParser` has been changed to raise
-  `ValueError` when the real command line is not available. `parseopt` was
-  previously excluded from `std/prelude` for JS, as it could not be imported.
-
-Compatibility notes:
-- Changed the behavior of `uri.decodeQuery` when there are unencoded `=`
-  characters in the decoded values. Prior versions would raise an error. This is
-  no longer the case to comply with the HTML spec and other languages'
-  implementations. Old behavior can be obtained with
-  `-d:nimLegacyParseQueryStrict`. `cgi.decodeData` which uses the same
-  underlying code is also updated the same way.
-
-
-## JS stdlib changes
-
-- Added `std/jsbigints` module, which provides arbitrary precision integers for the JS target.
-- Added `setCurrentException` for the JS backend.
-- `writeStackTrace` is available in the JS backend now.
-- Added `then`, `catch` to `std/asyncjs` for promise pipelining, for now hidden
-  behind `-d:nimExperimentalAsyncjsThen`.
-- Added `std/jsfetch` module [Fetch](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API)
-  wrapper for the JS target.
-- Added `std/jsheaders` module [Headers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Headers)
-  wrapper for the JS target.
-- Added `std/jsformdata` module [FormData](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FormData)
-  wrapper for the JS target.
-- Added `jscore.debugger` to [call any available debugging functionality, such as breakpoints](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/debugger).
-- Added `jsconsole.dir`, `jsconsole.dirxml`, `jsconsole.timeStamp`.
-- Added dollar `$` and `len` for `jsre.RegExp`.
-- Added `jsconsole.jsAssert` for the JS target.
-- Added `**` to `std/jsffi`.
-- Added `copyWithin` [for `seq` and `array` for JS targets](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/copyWithin).
-- In `std/dom`, `Interval` is now a `ref object`, same as `Timeout`.
-  Definitions of `setTimeout`, `clearTimeout`, `setInterval`, `clearInterval` were updated.
-- Added `dom.scrollIntoView` proc with options.
-- Added `dom.setInterval`, `dom.clearInterval` overloads.
-- Merged `std/dom_extensions` into the `std/dom` module,
-  as it was a module with a single line, see RFC [#413](https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/413).
-- `$` now gives more correct results on the JS backend.
-
-
-## JS compiler changes
-
-- `cstring` doesn't support the `[]=` operator anymore in the JS backend.
-- Array literals now use JS typed arrays when the corresponding JS typed array exists,
-  for example `[byte(1), 2, 3]` generates `new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3])`.
-
-
-## VM and nimscript backend
-
-- VM now supports `addr(mystring[ind])` (index + index assignment).
-- `nimscript` now handles `except Exception as e`.
-- `nil` dereference is not allowed at compile time. `cast[ptr int](nil)[]` is rejected at compile time.
-- `static[T]` now works better, refs [#17590](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/17590),
-  [#15853](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/15853).
-- `distinct T` conversions now work in VM.
-- `items(cstring)` now works in VM.
-- Fix `addr`, `len`, `high` in VM ([#16002](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/16002),
-  [#16610](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/16610)).
-- `std/cstrutils` now works in VM.
-
-
-## OS/platform-specific notes
-
-- Support for Apple silicon/M1.
-- Support for 32-bit RISC-V, refs [#16231](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/16231).
-- Support for armv8l, refs [#18901](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18901).
-- Support for CROSSOS, refs [#18889](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18889).
-- The allocator for Nintendo Switch, which was nonfunctional because
-  of breaking changes in libnx, was removed, in favor of the new `-d:nimAllocPagesViaMalloc` option.
-- Allow reading parameters when compiling for Nintendo Switch.
-- `--nimcache` now correctly works in a cross-compilation setting.
-- Cross compilation targeting Windows was improved.
-- This now works from macOS/Linux: `nim r -d:mingw main`
-
-
-
-## Performance / memory optimizations
-
-- The comment field in PNode AST was moved to a side channel, reducing overall
-  memory usage during compilation by a factor 1.25x
-- `std/jsonutils` deserialization is now up to 20x faster.
-- `os.copyFile` is now 2.5x faster on macOS, by using `copyfile` from `copyfile.h`;
-  use `-d:nimLegacyCopyFile` for macOS < 10.5.
-- Float to string conversion is now 10x faster thanks to the Dragonbox algorithm,
-  with `-d:nimPreviewFloatRoundtrip`.
-- `newSeqWith` is 3x faster.
-- CI now supports batching (making Windows CI 2.3X faster).
-- Sets now uses the optimized `countSetBits` proc, see PR
-  [#17334](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/17334).
-
-
-## Debugging
-
-- You can now enable/disable VM tracing in user code via `vmutils.vmTrace`.
-- `koch tools` now builds `bin/nim_dbg` which allows easy access to a debug version
-  of Nim without recompiling.
-- Added new module `compiler/debugutils` to help with debugging Nim compiler.
-- Renamed `-d:nimCompilerStackraceHints` to `-d:nimCompilerStacktraceHints` and
-  used it in more contexts; this flag which works in tandem with `--stackTraceMsgs`
-  to show user code context in compiler stacktraces.
-
-
-## Type system
-
-- `typeof(voidStmt)` now works and returns `void`.
-- `enum` values can now be overloaded. This needs to be enabled
-  via `{.experimental: "overloadableEnums".}`. We hope that this feature allows
-  for the development of more fluent (less ugly) APIs.
-  See RFC [#373](https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/373) for more details.
-- A type conversion from one `enum` type to another now produces an `[EnumConv]` warning.
-  You should use `ord` (or `cast`, but the compiler won't help, if you misuse it) instead.
-  ```nim
-  type A = enum a1, a2
-  type B = enum b1, b2
-  echo a1.B # produces a warning
-  echo a1.ord.B # produces no warning
-  ```
-- A dangerous implicit conversion to `cstring` now triggers a `[CStringConv]` warning.
-  This warning will become an error in future versions! Use an explicit conversion
-  like `cstring(x)` in order to silence the warning.
-- There is a new warning for *any* type conversion to `enum` that can be enabled via
-  `.warning[AnyEnumConv]:on` or `--warning:AnyEnumConv:on`.
-- Reusing a type name in a different scope now works, refs [#17710](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/17710).
-- Fixed implicit and explicit generics in procedures, refs [#18808](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18808).
-
-
-## New-style concepts
-
-Example:
-```nim
-type
-  Comparable = concept # no T, an atom
-    proc cmp(a, b: Self): int
-```
-The new design does not rely on `system.compiles` and may compile faster.
-See PR [#15251](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/15251)
-and RFC [#168](https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/168) for details.
-
-
-## Lexical / syntactic
-
-- Nim now supports a small subset of Unicode operators as operator symbols.
-  The supported symbols are: "∙ ∘ × ★ ⊗ ⊘ ⊙ ⊛ ⊠ ⊡ ∩ ∧ ⊓ ± ⊕ ⊖ ⊞ ⊟ ∪ ∨ ⊔".
-  To enable this feature, use `--experimental:unicodeOperators`. Note that due
-  to parser limitations you **cannot** enable this feature via a
-  pragma `{.experimental: "unicodeOperators".}` reliably, you need to enable
-  it via the command line or in a configuration file.
-- `var a {.foo.} = expr` now works inside templates (except when `foo` is overloaded).
-
-
-## Compiler messages, error messages, hints, warnings
-
-- Significant improvement to error messages involving effect mismatches,
-  see PRs [#18384](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18384),
-  [#18418](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18418).
-- Added `--declaredLocs` to show symbol declaration location in error messages.
-- Added `--spellSuggest` to show spelling suggestions on typos.
-- Added `--processing:dots|filenames|off` which customizes `hintProcessing`;
-  `--processing:filenames` shows which include/import modules are being compiled as an import stack.
-- `FieldDefect` messages now shows discriminant value + lineinfo, in all backends (C, JS, VM)
-- Added `--hintAsError` with similar semantics as `--warningAsError`.
-- Added `--unitsep:on|off` to control whether to add ASCII unit separator `\31`
-  before a newline for every generated message (potentially multiline),
-  so tooling can tell when messages start and end.
-- Added `--filenames:abs|canonical|legacyRelProj` which replaces `--listFullPaths:on|off`
-- `--hint:all:on|off` is now supported to select or deselect all hints; it
-  differs from `--hints:on|off` which acts as a (reversible) gate.
-  Likewise with `--warning:all:on|off`.
-- The style checking of the compiler now supports a `--styleCheck:usages` switch.
-  This switch enforces that every symbol is written as it was declared, not enforcing
-  the official Nim style guide. To be enabled, this has to be combined either
-  with `--styleCheck:error` or `--styleCheck:hint`.
-- Type mismatch errors now show more context, use `-d:nimLegacyTypeMismatch` for
-  previous behavior.
-- `typedesc[Foo]` now renders as such instead of `type Foo` in compiler messages.
-- `runnableExamples` now show originating location in stacktraces on failure.
-- `SuccessX` message now shows more useful information.
-- New `DuplicateModuleImport` warning; improved `UnusedImport` and
-  `XDeclaredButNotUsed` accuracy.
-
-Compatibility notes:
-- `--hint:CC` now prints to stderr (like all other hints) instead of stdout.
-
-
-## Building and running Nim programs, configuration system
-
-- JSON build instructions are now generated in `$nimcache/outFileBasename.json`
-  instead of `$nimcache/projectName.json`. This allows avoiding recompiling a
-  given project compiled with different options if the output file differs.
-- `--usenimcache` (implied by `nim r main`) now generates an output file that includes
-  a hash of some of the compilation options, which allows caching generated binaries:
-  ```bash
-    nim r main # recompiles
-    nim r -d:foo main # recompiles
-    nim r main # uses cached binary
-    nim r main arg1 arg2 # likewise (runtime arguments are irrelevant)
-  ```
-- `nim r` now supports cross compilation from unix to windows when specifying
-  `-d:mingw` by using Wine, e.g.:
-  `nim r --eval:'import os; echo "a" / "b"'` prints `a\b`.
-- `nim` can compile version 1.4.0 as follows:
-  `nim c --lib:lib --stylecheck:off -d:nimVersion140 compiler/nim`.
-  `-d:nimVersion140` is not needed for bootstrapping, only for building 1.4.0 from devel.
-- `nim e` now accepts arbitrary file extensions for the nimscript file,
-  although `.nims` is still the preferred extension in general.
-- The configuration subsystem now allows for `-d:release` and `-d:danger` to work as expected.
-  The downside is that these defines now have custom logic that doesn't apply for
-  other defines.
-
-
-## Multithreading
-
-- TLS: macOS now uses native TLS (`--tlsEmulation:off`). TLS now works with
-  `importcpp` non-POD types; such types must use `.cppNonPod` and
-  `--tlsEmulation:off`should be used.
-- Added `unsafeIsolate` and `extract` to `std/isolation`.
-- Added `std/tasks`, see description above.
-
-
-## Memory management
-
-- `--gc:arc` now bootstraps (PR [#17342](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/17342)).
-- Lots of improvements to `gc:arc`, `gc:orc`, see PR
-  [#15697](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/15697),
-  [#16849](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/16849),
-  [#17993](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/17993).
-- `--gc:orc` is now 10% faster than previously for common workloads.
-  If you have trouble with its changed behavior, compile with `-d:nimOldOrc`.
-- The `--gc:orc` algorithm was refined so that custom container types can participate in the
-  cycle collection process. See the documentation of `=trace` for more details.
-- On embedded devices `malloc` can now be used instead of `mmap` via `-d:nimAllocPagesViaMalloc`.
-  This is only supported for `--gc:orc` or `--gc:arc`.
-
-Compatibility notes:
-- `--newruntime` and `--refchecks` are deprecated,
-  use `--gc:arc`, `--gc:orc`, or `--gc:none` as appropriate instead.
-
-
-## Docgen
-
-- docgen: RST files can now use single backticks instead of double backticks and
-  correctly render in both `nim rst2html` (as before) as well as common tools rendering
-  RST directly (e.g. GitHub).
-  This is done by adding the `default-role:: code` directive inside the RST file
-  (which is now handled by `nim rst2html`).
-- Source+Edit links now appear on top of every docgen'd page when
-  `nim doc --git.url:url ...` is given.
-- Latex doc generation is revised: output `.tex` files should be compiled
-  by `xelatex` (not by `pdflatex` as before). Now default Latex settings
-  provide support for Unicode and better avoid margin overflows.
-  The minimum required version is TeXLive 2018 (or an equivalent MikTeX version).
-- The RST parser now supports footnotes, citations, admonitions, and short style
-  references with symbols.
-- The RST parser now supports Markdown table syntax.
-  Known limitations:
-  - cell alignment is not supported, i.e. alignment annotations in a delimiter
-    row (`:---`, `:--:`, `---:`) are ignored
-  - every table row must start with `|`, e.g. `| cell 1 | cell 2 |`.
-- Implemented `doc2tex` compiler command which converts documentation in
-  `.nim` files to Latex.
-- docgen now supports syntax highlighting for inline code.
-- docgen now supports same-line doc comments:
-  ```nim
-  func fn*(a: int): int = 42  ## Doc comment
-  ```
-- docgen now renders `deprecated` and other pragmas.
-- `runnableExamples` now works with templates and nested templates.
-- `runnableExamples: "-r:off"` now works for examples that should compile but not run.
-- `runnableExamples` now renders code verbatim, and produces correct code in all cases.
-- docgen now shows correct, canonical import paths in docs.
-- docgen now shows all routines in sidebar, and the proc signature is now shown in sidebar.
-
-
-## Effects and checks
-
-- Significant improvement to error messages involving effect mismatches
-- There is a new `cast` section `{.cast(uncheckedAssign).}: body` that disables some
-  compiler checks regarding `case objects`. This allows serialization libraries
-  to avoid ugly, non-portable solutions. See RFC
-  [#407](https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/407) for more details.
-
-Compatibility notes:
-- Fixed effect tracking for borrowed procs (see [#18882](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18882)).
-  One consequence is that, under some circumstances, Nim could previously permit a procedure with side effects to be written with `func` - you may need to change some occurrences of `func` to `proc`.
-  To illustrate, Nim versions before 1.6.0 compile the below without error
-  ```nim
-  proc print(s: string) =
-    echo s
-
-  type
-    MyString = distinct string
-
-  proc print(s: MyString) {.borrow.}
-
-  func foo(s: MyString) =
-    print(s)
-  ```
-  but Nim 1.6.0 produces the error
-  ```
-  Error: 'foo' can have side effects
-  ```
-  similar to how we expect that
-  ```nim
-  func print(s: string) =
-    echo s
-  ```
-  produces
-  ```
-  Error: 'print' can have side effects
-  ```
-
-
-## Tools
-
-- Major improvements to `nimgrep`, see PR [#15612
-](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/15612).
-- `fusion` is now un-bundled from Nim, `./koch fusion` will
-  install it via Nimble at a fixed hash.
-- `testament`: added `nimoutFull: bool` spec to compare full output of compiler
-  instead of a subset; many bugfixes to testament.
-
-
-## Misc/cleanups
-
-- Deprecated `TaintedString` and `--taintmode`.
-- Deprecated `--nilseqs` which is now a noop.
-- Added `-d:nimStrictMode` in CI in several places to ensure code doesn't have
-  certain hints/warnings.
-- Removed `.travis.yml`, `appveyor.yml.disabled`, `.github/workflows/ci.yml.disabled`.
-- `[skip ci]` now works in azure and CI pipelines, see detail in PR
-  [#17561](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/17561).

-# v2.0.0 - 2023-08-01
-
-Version 2.0 is a big milestone with too many changes to list them all here.
-
-For a full list see [details](changelog_2_0_0_details.html).
-
-
-## New features
-
-### Better tuple unpacking
-
-Tuple unpacking for variables is now treated as syntax sugar that directly
-expands into multiple assignments. Along with this, tuple unpacking for
-variables can now be nested.
-
-```nim
-proc returnsNestedTuple(): (int, (int, int), int, int) = (4, (5, 7), 2, 3)
-
-# Now nesting is supported!
-let (x, (_, y), _, z) = returnsNestedTuple()
-
-```
-
-### Improved type inference
-
-A new form of type inference called [top-down inference](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#topminusdown-type-inference) has been implemented for a variety of basic cases.
-
-For example, code like the following now compiles:
-
-```nim
-let foo: seq[(float, byte, cstring)] = @[(1, 2, "abc")]
-```
-
-### Forbidden Tags
-
-[Tag tracking](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#effect-system-tag-tracking) now supports the definition
-of forbidden tags by the `.forbids` pragma which can be used to disable certain effects in proc types.
-
-For example:
-
-```nim
-
-type IO = object ## input/output effect
-proc readLine(): string {.tags: [IO].} = discard
-proc echoLine(): void = discard
-
-proc no_IO_please() {.forbids: [IO].} =
-  # this is OK because it didn't define any tag:
-  echoLine()
-  # the compiler prevents this:
-  let y = readLine()
-
-```
-
-### New standard library modules
-
-The famous `os` module got an overhaul. Several of its features are available
-under a new interface that introduces a `Path` abstraction. A `Path` is
-a `distinct string`, which improves the type safety when dealing with paths, files
-and directories.
-
-Use:
-
-- `std/oserrors` for OS error reporting.
-- `std/envvars` for environment variables handling.
-- `std/paths` for path handling.
-- `std/dirs` for directory creation/deletion/traversal.
-- `std/files` for file existence checking, file deletions and moves.
-- `std/symlinks` for symlink handling.
-- `std/appdirs` for accessing configuration/home/temp directories.
-- `std/cmdline` for reading command line parameters.
-
-### Consistent underscore handling
-
-The underscore identifier (`_`) is now generally not added to scope when
-used as the name of a definition. While this was already the case for
-variables, it is now also the case for routine parameters, generic
-parameters, routine declarations, type declarations, etc. This means that the following code now does not compile:
-
-```nim
-proc foo(_: int): int = _ + 1
-echo foo(1)
-
-proc foo[_](t: typedesc[_]): seq[_] = @[default(_)]
-echo foo[int]()
-
-proc _() = echo "_"
-_()
-
-type _ = int
-let x: _ = 3
-```
-
-Whereas the following code now compiles:
-
-```nim
-proc foo(_, _: int): int = 123
-echo foo(1, 2)
-
-proc foo[_, _](): int = 123
-echo foo[int, bool]()
-
-proc foo[T, U](_: typedesc[T], _: typedesc[U]): (T, U) = (default(T), default(U))
-echo foo(int, bool)
-
-proc _() = echo "one"
-proc _() = echo "two"
-
-type _ = int
-type _ = float
-```
-
-### JavaScript codegen improvement
-
-The JavaScript backend now uses [BigInt](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/BigInt)
-for 64-bit integer types (`int64` and `uint64`) by default. As this affects
-JS code generation, code using these types to interface with the JS backend
-may need to be updated. Note that `int` and `uint` are not affected.
-
-For compatibility with [platforms that do not support BigInt](https://caniuse.com/bigint)
-and in the case of potential bugs with the new implementation, the
-old behavior is currently still supported with the command line option
-`--jsbigint64:off`.
-
-
-## Docgen improvements
-
-`Markdown` is now the default markup language of doc comments (instead
-of the legacy `RstMarkdown` mode). In this release we begin to separate
-RST and Markdown features to better follow specification of each
-language, with the focus on Markdown development.
-See also [the docs](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/markdown_rst.html).
-
-* Added a `{.doctype: Markdown | RST | RstMarkdown.}` pragma allowing to
-  select the markup language mode in the doc comments of the current `.nim`
-  file for processing by `nim doc`:
-
-    1. `Markdown` (default) is basically CommonMark (standard Markdown) +
-        some Pandoc Markdown features + some RST features that are missing
-        in our current implementation of CommonMark and Pandoc Markdown.
-    2. `RST` closely follows the RST spec with few additional Nim features.
-    3. `RstMarkdown` is a maximum mix of RST and Markdown features, which
-        is kept for the sake of compatibility and ease of migration.
-
-* Added separate `md2html` and `rst2html` commands for processing
-  standalone `.md` and `.rst` files respectively (and also `md2tex`/`rst2tex`).
-
-* Added Pandoc Markdown bracket syntax `[...]` for making anchor-less links.
-* Docgen now supports concise syntax for referencing Nim symbols:
-  instead of specifying HTML anchors directly one can use original
-  Nim symbol declarations (adding the aforementioned link brackets
-  `[...]` around them).
-  * To use this feature across modules, a new `importdoc` directive was added.
-    Using this feature for referencing also helps to ensure that links
-    (inside one module or the whole project) are not broken.
-* Added support for RST & Markdown quote blocks (blocks starting with `>`).
-* Added a popular Markdown definition lists extension.
-* Added Markdown indented code blocks (blocks indented by >= 4 spaces).
-* Added syntax for additional parameters to Markdown code blocks:
-
-       ```nim test="nim c $1"
-       ...
-       ```

-## C++ interop enhancements
-
-Nim 2.0 takes C++ interop to the next level. With the new [virtual](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#virtual-pragma) pragma and the extended [constructor](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#constructor-pragma) pragma.
-Now one can define constructors and virtual procs that maps to C++ constructors and virtual methods, allowing one to further customize
-the interoperability. There is also extended support for the [codeGenDecl](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#implementation-specific-pragmas-codegendecl-pragma) pragma, so that it works on types.
-
-It's a common pattern in C++ to use inheritance to extend a library. Some even use multiple inheritance as a mechanism to make interfaces.
-
-Consider the following example:
-
-```cpp
-
-struct Base {
-  int someValue;
-  Base(int inValue)  {
-    someValue = inValue;
-  };
-};
-
-class IPrinter {
-public:
-  virtual void print() = 0;
-};
-```
-
-```nim
-
-type
-  Base* {.importcpp, inheritable.} = object
-    someValue*: int32
-  IPrinter* {.importcpp.} = object
-
-const objTemplate = """
-  struct $1 : public $3, public IPrinter {
-    $2
-  };
-""";
-
-type NimChild {.codegenDecl: objTemplate .} = object of Base
-
-proc makeNimChild(val: int32): NimChild {.constructor: "NimClass('1 #1) : Base(#1)".} =
-  echo "It calls the base constructor passing " & $this.someValue
-  this.someValue = val * 2 # Notice how we can access `this` inside the constructor. It's of the type `ptr NimChild`.
-
-proc print*(self: NimChild) {.virtual.} =
-  echo "Some value is " & $self.someValue
-
-let child = makeNimChild(10)
-child.print()
-```
-
-It outputs:
-
-```
-It calls the base constructor passing 10
-Some value is 20
-```
-
-
-## ARC/ORC refinements
-
-With the 2.0 release, the ARC/ORC model got refined once again and is now finally complete:
-
-1. Programmers now have control over the "item was moved from" state as `=wasMoved` is overridable.
-2. There is a new `=dup` hook which is more efficient than the old combination of `=wasMoved(tmp); =copy(tmp, x)` operations.
-3. Destructors now take a parameter of the attached object type `T` directly and don't have to take a `var T` parameter.
-
-With these important optimizations we improved the runtime of the compiler and important benchmarks by 0%! Wait ... what?
-Yes, unfortunately it turns out that for a modern optimizer like in GCC or LLVM there is no difference.
-
-But! This refined model is more efficient once separate compilation enters the picture. In other words, as we think of
-providing a stable ABI it is important not to lose any efficiency in the calling conventions.
-
-
-## Tool changes
-
-- Nim now ships Nimble version 0.14 which added support for lock-files. Libraries are stored in `$nimbleDir/pkgs2` (it was `$nimbleDir/pkgs` before). Use `nimble develop --global` to create an old style link file in the special links directory documented at https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble#nimble-develop.
-- nimgrep now offers the option `--inContext` (and `--notInContext`), which
-  allows to filter only matches with the context block containing a given pattern.
-- nimgrep: names of options containing "include/exclude" are deprecated,
-  e.g. instead of `--includeFile` and `--excludeFile` we have
-  `--filename` and `--notFilename` respectively.
-  Also, the semantics are now consistent for such positive/negative filters.
-- Nim now ships with an alternative package manager called Atlas. More on this in upcoming versions.

-## Porting guide
-
-### Block and Break
-
-Using an unnamed break in a block is deprecated. This warning will become an error in future versions! Use a named block with a named break instead. In other words, turn:
-
-```nim
-
-block:
-  a()
-  if cond:
-    break
-  b()
-
-```
-
-Into:
-
-```nim
-
-block maybePerformB:
-  a()
-  if cond:
-    break maybePerformB
-  b()
-
-```
-
-### Strict funcs
-
-The definition of `"strictFuncs"` was changed.
-The old definition was roughly: "A store to a ref/ptr deref is forbidden unless it's coming from a `var T` parameter".
-The new definition is: "A store to a ref/ptr deref is forbidden."
-
-This new definition is much easier to understand, the price is some expressiveness. The following code used to be
-accepted:
-
-```nim
-
-{.experimental: "strictFuncs".}
-
-type Node = ref object
-  s: string
-
-func create(s: string): Node =
-  result = Node()
-  result.s = s # store to result[]
-
-```
-
-Now it has to be rewritten to:
-
-```nim
-
-{.experimental: "strictFuncs".}
-
-type Node = ref object
-  s: string
-
-func create(s: string): Node =
-  result = Node(s: s)
-
-```
-
-### Standard library
-
-Several standard library modules have been moved to nimble packages, use `nimble` or `atlas` to install them:
-
-- `std/punycode` => `punycode`
-- `std/asyncftpclient` => `asyncftpclient`
-- `std/smtp` => `smtp`
-- `std/db_common` => `db_connector/db_common`
-- `std/db_sqlite` => `db_connector/db_sqlite`
-- `std/db_mysql` => `db_connector/db_mysql`
-- `std/db_postgres` => `db_connector/db_postgres`
-- `std/db_odbc` => `db_connector/db_odbc`
-- `std/md5` => `checksums/md5`
-- `std/sha1` => `checksums/sha1`
-- `std/sums` => `sums`

-# v2.0.0 - 2023-08-01
-
-
-## Changes affecting backward compatibility
-
-- ORC is now the default memory management strategy. Use
-  `--mm:refc` for a transition period.
-
-- The `threads:on` option is now the default.
-
-- `httpclient.contentLength` default to `-1` if the Content-Length header is not set in the response. It follows Apache's `HttpClient` (Java), `http` (go) and .NET `HttpWebResponse` (C#) behaviors. Previously it raised a `ValueError`.
-
-- `addr` is now available for all addressable locations,
-  `unsafeAddr` is now deprecated and an alias for `addr`.
-
-- Certain definitions from the default `system` module have been moved to
-  the following new modules:
-
-  - `std/syncio`
-  - `std/assertions`
-  - `std/formatfloat`
-  - `std/objectdollar`
-  - `std/widestrs`
-  - `std/typedthreads`
-  - `std/sysatomics`
-
-  In the future, these definitions will be removed from the `system` module,
-  and their respective modules will have to be imported to use them.
-  Currently, to make these imports required, the `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` option
-  may be used.
-
-- Enabling `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` also removes the following deprecated
-  symbols in the `system` module:
-  - Aliases with an `Error` suffix to exception types that have a `Defect` suffix
-    (see [exceptions](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/exceptions.html)):
-    `ArithmeticError`, `DivByZeroError`, `OverflowError`,
-    `AccessViolationError`, `AssertionError`, `OutOfMemError`, `IndexError`,
-    `FieldError`, `RangeError`, `StackOverflowError`, `ReraiseError`,
-    `ObjectAssignmentError`, `ObjectConversionError`, `FloatingPointError`,
-    `FloatOverflowError`, `FloatUnderflowError`, `FloatInexactError`,
-    `DeadThreadError`, `NilAccessError`
-  - `addQuitProc`, replaced by `exitprocs.addExitProc`
-  - Legacy unsigned conversion operations: `ze`, `ze64`, `toU8`, `toU16`, `toU32`
-  - `TaintedString`, formerly a distinct alias to `string`
-  - `PInt32`, `PInt64`, `PFloat32`, `PFloat64`, aliases to
-    `ptr int32`, `ptr int64`, `ptr float32`, `ptr float64`
-
-- Enabling `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` removes the import of `channels_builtin` in
-  in the `system` module, which is replaced by [threading/channels](https://github.com/nim-lang/threading/blob/master/threading/channels.nim). Use the command `nimble install threading` and import `threading/channels`.
-
-- Enabling `-d:nimPreviewCstringConversion` causes `ptr char`, `ptr array[N, char]` and `ptr UncheckedArray[N, char]` to not support conversion to `cstring` anymore.
-
-- Enabling `-d:nimPreviewProcConversion` causes `proc` to not support conversion to
-  `pointer` anymore. `cast` may be used instead.
-
-- The `gc:v2` option is removed.
-
-- The `mainmodule` and `m` options are removed.
-
-- Optional parameters in combination with `: body` syntax ([RFC #405](https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/405))
-  are now opt-in via `experimental:flexibleOptionalParams`.
-
-- Automatic dereferencing (experimental feature) is removed.
-
-- The `Math.trunc` polyfill for targeting Internet Explorer was
-  previously included in most JavaScript output files.
-  Now, it is only included with `-d:nimJsMathTruncPolyfill`.
-  If you are targeting Internet Explorer, you may choose to enable this option
-  or define your own `Math.trunc` polyfill using the [`emit` pragma](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#implementation-specific-pragmas-emit-pragma).
-  Nim uses `Math.trunc` for the division and modulo operators for integers.
-
-- `shallowCopy` and `shallow` are removed for ARC/ORC. Use `move` when possible or combine assignment and
-`sink` for optimization purposes.
-
-- The experimental `nimPreviewDotLikeOps` switch is going to be removed or deprecated because it didn't fulfill its promises.
-
-- The `{.this.}` pragma, deprecated since 0.19, has been removed.
-- `nil` literals can no longer be directly assigned to variables or fields of `distinct` pointer types. They must be converted instead.
-  ```nim
-  type Foo = distinct ptr int
-
-  # Before:
-  var x: Foo = nil
-  # After:
-  var x: Foo = Foo(nil)
-  ```
-- Removed two type pragma syntaxes deprecated since 0.20, namely
-  `type Foo = object {.final.}`, and `type Foo {.final.} [T] = object`. Instead,
-  use `type Foo[T] {.final.} = object`.
-
-- `foo a = b` now means `foo(a = b)` rather than `foo(a) = b`. This is consistent
-  with the existing behavior of `foo a, b = c` meaning `foo(a, b = c)`.
-  This decision was made with the assumption that the old syntax was used rarely;
-  if your code used the old syntax, please be aware of this change.
-
-- [Overloadable enums](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#overloadable-enum-value-names) and Unicode Operators
-  are no longer experimental.
-
-- `macros.getImpl` for `const` symbols now returns the full definition node
-  (as `nnkConstDef`) rather than the AST of the constant value.
-
-- Lock levels are deprecated, now a noop.
-
-- `strictEffects` are no longer experimental.
-  Use `legacy:laxEffects` to keep backward compatibility.
-
-- The `gorge`/`staticExec` calls will now return a descriptive message in the output
-  if the execution fails for whatever reason. To get back legacy behaviour, use `-d:nimLegacyGorgeErrors`.
-
-- Pointer to `cstring` conversions now trigger a `[PtrToCstringConv]` warning.
-  This warning will become an error in future versions! Use a `cast` operation
-  like `cast[cstring](x)` instead.
-
-- `logging` will default to flushing all log level messages. To get the legacy behaviour of only flushing Error and Fatal messages, use `-d:nimV1LogFlushBehavior`.
-
-- Redefining templates with the same signature was previously
-  allowed to support certain macro code. To do this explicitly, the
-  `{.redefine.}` pragma has been added. Note that this is only for templates.
-  Implicit redefinition of templates is now deprecated and will give an error in the future.
-
-- Using an unnamed break in a block is deprecated. This warning will become an error in future versions! Use a named block with a named break instead.
-
-- Several Standard libraries have been moved to nimble packages, use `nimble` to install them:
-  - `std/punycode` => `punycode`
-  - `std/asyncftpclient` => `asyncftpclient`
-  - `std/smtp` => `smtp`
-  - `std/db_common` => `db_connector/db_common`
-  - `std/db_sqlite` => `db_connector/db_sqlite`
-  - `std/db_mysql` => `db_connector/db_mysql`
-  - `std/db_postgres` => `db_connector/db_postgres`
-  - `std/db_odbc` => `db_connector/db_odbc`
-  - `std/md5` => `checksums/md5`
-  - `std/sha1` => `checksums/sha1`
-  - `std/sums` => `std/sums`
-
-- Previously, calls like `foo(a, b): ...` or `foo(a, b) do: ...` where the final argument of
-  `foo` had type `proc ()` were assumed by the compiler to mean `foo(a, b, proc () = ...)`.
-  This behavior is now deprecated. Use `foo(a, b) do (): ...` or `foo(a, b, proc () = ...)` instead.
-
-- When `--warning[BareExcept]:on` is enabled, if an `except` specifies no exception or any exception not inheriting from `Defect` or `CatchableError`, a `warnBareExcept` warning will be triggered. For example, the following code will emit a warning:
-  ```nim
-  try:
-    discard
-  except: # Warning: The bare except clause is deprecated; use `except CatchableError:` instead [BareExcept]
-    discard
-  ```
-
-- The experimental `strictFuncs` feature now disallows a store to the heap via a `ref` or `ptr` indirection.
-
-- The underscore identifier (`_`) is now generally not added to scope when
-  used as the name of a definition. While this was already the case for
-  variables, it is now also the case for routine parameters, generic
-  parameters, routine declarations, type declarations, etc. This means that the following code now does not compile:
-
-  ```nim
-  proc foo(_: int): int = _ + 1
-  echo foo(1)
-
-  proc foo[_](t: typedesc[_]): seq[_] = @[default(_)]
-  echo foo[int]()
-
-  proc _() = echo "_"
-  _()
-
-  type _ = int
-  let x: _ = 3
-  ```
-
-  Whereas the following code now compiles:
-
-  ```nim
-  proc foo(_, _: int): int = 123
-  echo foo(1, 2)
-
-  proc foo[_, _](): int = 123
-  echo foo[int, bool]()
-
-  proc foo[T, U](_: typedesc[T], _: typedesc[U]): (T, U) = (default(T), default(U))
-  echo foo(int, bool)
-
-  proc _() = echo "one"
-  proc _() = echo "two"
-
-  type _ = int
-  type _ = float
-  ```
-
-- Added the `--legacy:verboseTypeMismatch` switch to get legacy type mismatch error messages.
-
-- The JavaScript backend now uses [BigInt](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/BigInt)
-  for 64-bit integer types (`int64` and `uint64`) by default. As this affects
-  JS code generation, code using these types to interface with the JS backend
-  may need to be updated. Note that `int` and `uint` are not affected.
-
-  For compatibility with [platforms that do not support BigInt](https://caniuse.com/bigint)
-  and in the case of potential bugs with the new implementation, the
-  old behavior is currently still supported with the command line option
-  `--jsbigint64:off`.
-
-- The `proc` and `iterator` type classes now respectively only match
-  procs and iterators. Previously both type classes matched any of
-  procs or iterators.
-
-  ```nim
-  proc prc(): int =
-    123
-
-  iterator iter(): int {.closure.} =
-    yield 123
-
-  proc takesProc[T: proc](x: T) = discard
-  proc takesIter[T: iterator](x: T) = discard
-
-  # always compiled:
-  takesProc(prc)
-  takesIter(iter)
-  # no longer compiles:
-  takesProc(iter)
-  takesIter(prc)
-  ```
-
-- The `proc` and `iterator` type classes now accept a calling convention pragma
-  (i.e. `proc {.closure.}`) that must be shared by matching proc or iterator
-  types. Previously, pragmas were parsed but discarded if no parameter list
-  was given.
-
-  This is represented in the AST by an `nnkProcTy`/`nnkIteratorTy` node with
-  an `nnkEmpty` node in the place of the `nnkFormalParams` node, and the pragma
-  node in the same place as in a concrete `proc` or `iterator` type node. This
-  state of the AST may be unexpected to existing code, both due to the
-  replacement of the `nnkFormalParams` node as well as having child nodes
-  unlike other type class AST.
-
-- Signed integer literals in `set` literals now default to a range type of
-  `0..255` instead of `0..65535` (the maximum size of sets).
-
-- `case` statements with `else` branches put before `elif`/`of` branches in macros
-  are rejected with "invalid order of case branches".
-
-- Destructors now default to `.raises: []` (i.e. destructors must not raise
-  unlisted exceptions) and explicitly raising destructors are implementation
-  defined behavior.
-
-- The very old, undocumented `deprecated` pragma statement syntax for
-  deprecated aliases is now a no-op. The regular deprecated pragma syntax is
-  generally sufficient instead.
-
-  ```nim
-  # now does nothing:
-  {.deprecated: [OldName: NewName].}
-
-  # instead use:
-  type OldName* {.deprecated: "use NewName instead".} = NewName
-  const oldName* {.deprecated: "use newName instead".} = newName
-  ```
-
-  `defined(nimalias)` can be used to check for versions when this syntax was
-  available; however since code that used this syntax is usually very old,
-  these deprecated aliases are likely not used anymore and it may make sense
-  to simply remove these statements.
-
-- `getProgramResult` and `setProgramResult` in `std/exitprocs` are no longer
-  declared when they are not available on the backend. Previously it would call
-  `doAssert false` at runtime despite the condition being checkable at compile-time.
-
-- Custom destructors now supports non-var parameters, e.g. ``proc `=destroy`[T: object](x: T)`` is valid. ``proc `=destroy`[T: object](x: var T)`` is deprecated.
-
-- Relative imports will not resolve to searched paths anymore, e.g. `import ./tables` now reports an error properly.
-
-## Standard library additions and changes
-
-[//]: # "Changes:"
-- OpenSSL 3 is now supported.
-- `macros.parseExpr` and `macros.parseStmt` now accept an optional
-  `filename` argument for more informative errors.
-- The `colors` module is expanded with missing colors from the CSS color standard.
-  `colPaleVioletRed` and `colMediumPurple` have also been changed to match the CSS color standard.
-- Fixed `lists.SinglyLinkedList` being broken after removing the last node ([#19353](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/19353)).
-- The `md5` module now works at compile time and in JavaScript.
-- Changed `mimedb` to use an `OrderedTable` instead of `OrderedTableRef`, to support `const` tables.
-- `strutils.find` now uses and defaults to `last = -1` for whole string searches,
-  making limiting it to just the first char (`last = 0`) valid.
-- `strutils.split` and `strutils.rsplit` now return the source string as a single element for an empty separator.
-- `random.rand` now works with `Ordinal`s.
-- Undeprecated `os.isvalidfilename`.
-- `std/oids` now uses `int64` to store time internally (before, it was int32).
-- `std/uri.Uri` dollar (`$`) improved, precalculates the `string` result length from the `Uri`.
-- `std/uri.Uri.isIpv6` is now exported.
-- `std/logging.ConsoleLogger` and `FileLogger` now have a `flushThreshold` attribute to set what log message levels are automatically flushed. For Nim v1 use `-d:nimFlushAllLogs` to automatically flush all message levels. Flushing all logs is the default behavior for Nim v2.
-
-
-- `std/jsfetch.newFetchOptions` now has default values for all parameters.
-- `std/jsformdata` now accepts the `Blob` data type.
-
-- `std/sharedlist` and `std/sharedtables` are now deprecated, see [RFC #433](https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/433).
-
-- There is a new compile flag (`-d:nimNoGetRandom`) when building `std/sysrand` to remove the dependency on the Linux `getrandom` syscall.
-
-  This compile flag only affects Linux builds and is necessary if either compiling on a Linux kernel version < 3.17, or if code built will be executing on kernel < 3.17.
-
-  On Linux kernels < 3.17 (such as kernel 3.10 in RHEL7 and CentOS7), the `getrandom` syscall was not yet introduced. Without this, the `std/sysrand` module will not build properly, and if code is built on a kernel >= 3.17 without the flag, any usage of the `std/sysrand` module will fail to execute on a kernel < 3.17 (since it attempts to perform a syscall to `getrandom`, which isn't present in the current kernel). A compile flag has been added to force the `std/sysrand` module to use /dev/urandom (available since Linux kernel 1.3.30), rather than the `getrandom` syscall. This allows for use of a cryptographically secure PRNG, regardless of kernel support for the `getrandom` syscall.
-
-  When building for RHEL7/CentOS7 for example, the entire build process for nim from a source package would then be:
-  ```sh
-  $ yum install devtoolset-8 # Install GCC version 8 vs the standard 4.8.5 on RHEL7/CentOS7. Alternatively use -d:nimEmulateOverflowChecks. See issue #13692 for details
-  $ scl enable devtoolset-8 bash # Run bash shell with default toolchain of gcc 8
-  $ sh build.sh  # per unix install instructions
-  $ bin/nim c koch  # per unix install instructions
-  $ ./koch boot -d:release  # per unix install instructions
-  $ ./koch tools -d:nimNoGetRandom  # pass the nimNoGetRandom flag to compile std/sysrand without support for getrandom syscall
-  ```
-
-  This is necessary to pass when building Nim on kernel versions < 3.17 in particular to avoid an error of "SYS_getrandom undeclared" during the build process for the stdlib (`sysrand` in particular).

-## Language changes
-

-  which can be used to disable certain effects in proc types.
-- [Case statement macros](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#macros-case-statement-macros) are no longer experimental,
-  meaning you no longer need to enable the experimental switch `caseStmtMacros` to use them.
-- Full command syntax and block arguments i.e. `foo a, b: c` are now allowed
-  for the right-hand side of type definitions in type sections. Previously
-  they would error with "invalid indentation".
-
-- Compile-time define changes:
-  - `defined` now accepts identifiers separated by dots, i.e. `defined(a.b.c)`.
-    In the command line, this is defined as `-d:a.b.c`. Older versions can
-    use backticks as in ``defined(`a.b.c`)`` to access such defines.
-  - [Define pragmas for constants](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#implementation-specific-pragmas-compileminustime-define-pragmas)
-    now support a string argument for qualified define names.
-
-    ```nim
-    # -d:package.FooBar=42
-    const FooBar {.intdefine: "package.FooBar".}: int = 5
-    echo FooBar # 42
-    ```
-
-    This was added to help disambiguate similar define names for different packages.
-    In older versions, this could only be achieved with something like the following:
-
-    ```nim
-    const FooBar = block:
-      const `package.FooBar` {.intdefine.}: int = 5
-      `package.FooBar`
-    ```
-  - A generic `define` pragma for constants has been added that interprets
-    the value of the define based on the type of the constant value.
-    See the [experimental manual](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#generic-nimdefine-pragma)
-    for a list of supported types.
-
-- [Macro pragmas](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual.html#userminusdefined-pragmas-macro-pragmas) changes:
-  - Templates now accept macro pragmas.
-  - Macro pragmas for var/let/const sections have been redesigned in a way that works
-    similarly to routine macro pragmas. The new behavior is documented in the
-    [experimental manual](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#extended-macro-pragmas).
-  - Pragma macros on type definitions can now return `nnkTypeSection` nodes as well as `nnkTypeDef`,
-    allowing multiple type definitions to be injected in place of the original type definition.
-
-    ```nim
-    import macros
-
-    macro multiply(amount: static int, s: untyped): untyped =
-      let name = $s[0].basename
-      result = newNimNode(nnkTypeSection)
-      for i in 1 .. amount:
-        result.add(newTree(nnkTypeDef, ident(name & $i), s[1], s[2]))
-
-    type
-      Foo = object
-      Bar {.multiply: 3.} = object
-        x, y, z: int
-      Baz = object
-    # becomes
-    type
-      Foo = object
-      Bar1 = object
-        x, y, z: int
-      Bar2 = object
-        x, y, z: int
-      Bar3 = object
-        x, y, z: int
-      Baz = object
-    ```
-
-- A new form of type inference called [top-down inference](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#topminusdown-type-inference)
-  has been implemented for a variety of basic cases. For example, code like the following now compiles:
-
-  ```nim
-  let foo: seq[(float, byte, cstring)] = @[(1, 2, "abc")]
-  ```
-
-- `cstring` is now accepted as a selector in `case` statements, removing the
-  need to convert to `string`. On the JS backend, this is translated directly
-  to a `switch` statement.
-
-- Nim now supports `out` parameters and ["strict definitions"](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#strict-definitions-and-nimout-parameters).
-- Nim now offers a [strict mode](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#strict-case-objects) for `case objects`.
-
-- IBM Z architecture and macOS m1 arm64 architecture are supported.
-
-- `=wasMoved` can now be overridden by users.
-
-- There is a new pragma called [quirky](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#quirky-routines) that can be used to affect the code
-  generation of goto based exception handling. It can improve the produced code size but its effects can be subtle so use it with care.
-
-- Tuple unpacking for variables is now treated as syntax sugar that directly
-  expands into multiple assignments. Along with this, tuple unpacking for
-  variables can now be nested.
-
-  ```nim
-  proc returnsNestedTuple(): (int, (int, int), int, int) = (4, (5, 7), 2, 3)
-
-  let (x, (_, y), _, z) = returnsNestedTuple()
-  # roughly becomes
-  let
-    tmpTup1 = returnsNestedTuple()
-    x = tmpTup1[0]
-    tmpTup2 = tmpTup1[1]
-    y = tmpTup2[1]
-    z = tmpTup1[3]
-  ```
-
-  As a result `nnkVarTuple` nodes in variable sections will no longer be
-  reflected in `typed` AST.
-
-- C++ interoperability:
-  - New [`virtual`](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#virtual-pragma) pragma added.
-  - Improvements to [`constructor`](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#constructor-pragma) pragma.
-
-## Compiler changes
-
-- The `gc` switch has been renamed to `mm` ("memory management") in order to reflect the
-  reality better. (Nim moved away from all techniques based on "tracing".)
-
-- Defines the `gcRefc` symbol which allows writing specific code for the refc GC.
-
-- `nim` can now compile version 1.4.0 as follows: `nim c --lib:lib --stylecheck:off compiler/nim`,
-  without requiring `-d:nimVersion140` which is now a noop.
-
-- `--styleCheck`, `--hintAsError` and `--warningAsError` now only apply to the current package.
-
-- The switch `--nimMainPrefix:prefix` has been added to add a prefix to the names of `NimMain` and
-  related functions produced on the backend. This prevents conflicts with other Nim
-  static libraries.
-
-- When compiling for release, the flag `-fno-math-errno` is used for GCC.
-- Removed deprecated `LineTooLong` hint.
-- Line numbers and file names of source files work correctly inside templates for JavaScript targets.
-
-- Removed support for LCC (Local C), Pelles C, Digital Mars and Watcom compilers.
-
-
-## Docgen
-
-- `Markdown` is now the default markup language of doc comments (instead
-  of the legacy `RstMarkdown` mode). In this release we begin to separate
-  RST and Markdown features to better follow specification of each
-  language, with the focus on Markdown development.
-  See also [the docs](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/markdown_rst.html).
-
-  * Added a `{.doctype: Markdown | RST | RstMarkdown.}` pragma allowing to
-    select the markup language mode in the doc comments of the current `.nim`
-    file for processing by `nim doc`:
-
-      1. `Markdown` (default) is basically CommonMark (standard Markdown) +
-         some Pandoc Markdown features + some RST features that are missing
-         in our current implementation of CommonMark and Pandoc Markdown.
-      2. `RST` closely follows the RST spec with few additional Nim features.
-      3. `RstMarkdown` is a maximum mix of RST and Markdown features, which
-          is kept for the sake of compatibility and ease of migration.
-
-  * Added separate `md2html` and `rst2html` commands for processing
-    standalone `.md` and `.rst` files respectively (and also `md2tex`/`rst2tex`).
-
-- Added Pandoc Markdown bracket syntax `[...]` for making anchor-less links.
-- Docgen now supports concise syntax for referencing Nim symbols:
-  instead of specifying HTML anchors directly one can use original
-  Nim symbol declarations (adding the aforementioned link brackets
-  `[...]` around them).
-    * To use this feature across modules, a new `importdoc` directive was added.
-      Using this feature for referencing also helps to ensure that links
-      (inside one module or the whole project) are not broken.
-- Added support for RST & Markdown quote blocks (blocks starting with `>`).
-- Added a popular Markdown definition lists extension.
-- Added Markdown indented code blocks (blocks indented by >= 4 spaces).
-- Added syntax for additional parameters to Markdown code blocks:
-
-       ```nim test="nim c $1"
-       ...
-       ```
-
-## Tool changes
-
-- Nim now ships Nimble version 0.14 which added support for lock-files. Libraries are stored in `$nimbleDir/pkgs2` (it was `$nimbleDir/pkgs` before). Use `nimble develop --global` to create an old style link file in the special links directory documented at https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble#nimble-develop.
-- nimgrep added the option `--inContext` (and `--notInContext`), which
-  allows to filter only matches with the context block containing a given pattern.
-- nimgrep: names of options containing "include/exclude" are deprecated,
-  e.g. instead of `--includeFile` and `--excludeFile` we have
-  `--filename` and `--notFilename` respectively.
-  Also the semantics are now consistent for such positive/negative filters.
-- koch now supports the `--skipIntegrityCheck` option. The command `koch --skipIntegrityCheck boot -d:release` always builds the compiler twice.

-# v2.2.0 - 2024-10-02
-
-
-## Changes affecting backward compatibility
-
-- `-d:nimStrictDelete` becomes the default. An index error is produced when the index passed to `system.delete` is out of bounds. Use `-d:nimAuditDelete` to mimic the old behavior for backward compatibility.
-
-- The default user-agent in `std/httpclient` has been changed to `Nim-httpclient/<version>` instead of `Nim httpclient/<version>` which was incorrect according to the HTTP spec.
-
-- Methods now support implementations based on a VTable by using `--experimental:vtables`. Methods are then confined to the same module where their type has been defined.
-
-- With `-d:nimPreviewNonVarDestructor`, non-var destructors become the default.
-
-- A bug where tuple unpacking assignment with a longer tuple on the RHS than the LHS was allowed has been fixed, i.e. code like:
-  ```nim
-  var a, b: int
-  (a, b) = (1, 2, 3, 4)
-  ```
-  will no longer compile.
-
-- `internalNew` is removed from the `system` module, use `new` instead.
-
-- `bindMethod` in `std/jsffi` is deprecated, don't use it with closures.
-
-- The JS backend now supports lambda lifting for closures. Use `--legacy:jsNoLambdaLifting` to emulate old behaviors.
-
-- The JS backend now supports closure iterators.
-
-- `owner` in `std/macros` is deprecated.
-
-- Ambiguous type symbols in generic procs and templates now generate symchoice nodes.
-  Previously; in templates they would error immediately at the template definition,
-  and in generic procs a type symbol would arbitrarily be captured, losing the
-  information of the other symbols. This means that generic code can now give
-  errors for ambiguous type symbols, and macros operating on generic proc AST
-  may encounter symchoice nodes instead of the arbitrarily resolved type symbol nodes.
-
-- Partial generic instantiation of routines is no longer allowed. Previously
-  it compiled in niche situations due to bugs in the compiler.
-
-  ```nim
-  proc foo[T, U](x: T, y: U) = echo (x, y)
-  proc foo[T, U](x: var T, y: U) = echo "var ", (x, y)
-
-  proc bar[T]() =
-    foo[float](1, "abc")
-
-  bar[int]() # before: (1.0, "abc"), now: type mismatch, missing generic parameter
-  ```
-
-- `const` values now open a new scope for each constant, meaning symbols
-  declared in them can no longer be used outside or in the value of
-  other constants.
-
-  ```nim
-  const foo = (var a = 1; a)
-  const bar = a # error
-  let baz = a # error
-  ```
-
-- The following POSIX wrappers have had their types changed from signed to
-  unsigned types on OSX and FreeBSD/OpenBSD to correct codegen errors:
-  - `Gid` (was `int32`, is now `uint32`)
-  - `Uid` (was `int32`, is now `uint32`)
-  - `Dev` (was `int32`, is now `uint32` on FreeBSD)
-  - `Nlink` (was `int16`, is now `uint32` on OpenBSD and `uint16` on OSX/other BSD)
-  - `sin6_flowinfo` and `sin6_scope_id` fields of `Sockaddr_in6`
-    (were `int32`, are now `uint32`)
-  - `n_net` field of `Tnetent` (was `int32`, is now `uint32`)
-
-- The `Atomic[T]` type on C++ now uses C11 primitives by default instead of
-  `std::atomic`. To use `std::atomic` instead, `-d:nimUseCppAtomics` can be defined.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-## Standard library additions and changes
-
-[//]: # "Changes:"
-
-- Changed `std/osfiles.copyFile` to allow specifying `bufferSize` instead of a hard-coded one.
-- Changed `std/osfiles.copyFile` to use `POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL` hints for kernel-level aggressive sequential read-aheads.
-- `std/htmlparser` has been moved to a nimble package, use `nimble` or `atlas` to install it.
-- Changed `std/os.copyDir` and `copyDirWithPermissions` to allow skipping special "file" objects like FIFOs, device files, etc on Unix by specifying a `skipSpecial` parameter.
-
-[//]: # "Additions:"
-
-- Added `newStringUninit` to the `system` module, which creates a new string of length `len` like `newString` but with uninitialized content.
-- Added `setLenUninit` to the `system` module, which doesn't initialize
-slots when enlarging a sequence.
-- Added `hasDefaultValue` to `std/typetraits` to check if a type has a valid default value.
-- Added `rangeBase` to `std/typetraits` to obtain the base type of a range type or
-  convert a value with a range type to its base type.
-- Added Viewport API for the JavaScript targets in the `dom` module.
-- Added `toSinglyLinkedRing` and `toDoublyLinkedRing` to `std/lists` to convert from `openArray`s.
-- ORC: To be enabled via `nimOrcStats` there is a new API called `GC_orcStats` that can be used to query how many
-  objects the cyclic collector did free. If the number is zero that is a strong indicator that you can use `--mm:arc`
-  instead of `--mm:orc`.
-- A `$` template is provided for `Path` in `std/paths`.
-- `std/hashes.hash(x:string)` changed to produce a 64-bit string `Hash` (based
-on Google's Farm Hash) which is also often faster than the present one.  Define
-`nimStringHash2` to get the old values back.  `--jsbigint=off` mode always only
-produces the old values.  This may impact your automated tests if they depend
-on hash order in some obvious or indirect way.  Using `sorted` or `OrderedTable`
-is often an easy workaround.
-
-[//]: # "Deprecations:"
-
-- Deprecates `system.newSeqUninitialized`, which is replaced by `newSeqUninit`.
-
-[//]: # "Removals:"
-
-
-
-
-
-
-## Language changes
-
-- `noInit` can be used in types and fields to disable member initializers in the C++ backend.
-
-- C++ custom constructors initializers see https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual_experimental.html#constructor-initializer
-
-- `member` can be used to attach a procedure to a C++ type.
-
-- Inside a C++ constructor, `result` can be used to access the created object rather than `this`.
-
-- Tuple unpacking changes:
-  - Tuple unpacking assignment now supports using underscores to discard values.
-    ```nim
-    var a, c: int
-    (a, _, c) = (1, 2, 3)
-    ```
-  - Tuple unpacking variable declarations now support type annotations, but
-    only for the entire tuple.
-    ```nim
-    let (a, b): (int, int) = (1, 2)
-    let (a, (b, c)): (byte, (float, cstring)) = (1, (2, "abc"))
-    ```
-
-- The experimental option `--experimental:openSym` has been added to allow
-  captured symbols in generic routine and template bodies respectively to be
-  replaced by symbols injected locally by templates/macros at instantiation
-  time. `bind` may be used to keep the captured symbols over the injected ones
-  regardless of enabling the option, but other methods like renaming the
-  captured symbols should be used instead so that the code is not affected by
-  context changes.
-
-  Since this change may affect runtime behavior, the experimental switch
-  `openSym` needs to be enabled; and a warning is given in the case where an
-  injected symbol would replace a captured symbol not bound by `bind` and
-  the experimental switch isn't enabled.
-
-  ```nim
-  const value = "captured"
-  template foo(x: int, body: untyped): untyped =
-    let value {.inject.} = "injected"
-    body
-
-  proc old[T](): string =
-    foo(123):
-      return value # warning: a new `value` has been injected, use `bind` or turn on `experimental:openSym`
-  echo old[int]() # "captured"
-
-  template oldTempl(): string =
-    block:
-      foo(123):
-        value # warning: a new `value` has been injected, use `bind` or turn on `experimental:openSym`
-  echo oldTempl() # "captured"
-
-  {.experimental: "openSym".}
-
-  proc bar[T](): string =
-    foo(123):
-      return value
-  assert bar[int]() == "injected" # previously it would be "captured"
-
-  proc baz[T](): string =
-    bind value
-    foo(123):
-      return value
-  assert baz[int]() == "captured"
-
-  template barTempl(): string =
-    block:
-      foo(123):
-        value
-  assert barTempl() == "injected" # previously it would be "captured"
-
-  template bazTempl(): string =
-    bind value
-    block:
-      foo(123):
-        value
-  assert bazTempl() == "captured"
-  ```
-
-  This option also generates a new node kind `nnkOpenSym` which contains
-  exactly 1 `nnkSym` node. In the future this might be merged with a slightly
-  modified `nnkOpenSymChoice` node but macros that want to support the
-  experimental feature should still handle `nnkOpenSym`, as the node kind would
-  simply not be generated as opposed to being removed.
-
-  Another experimental switch `genericsOpenSym` exists that enables this behavior
-  at instantiation time, meaning templates etc can enable it specifically when
-  they are being called. However this does not generate `nnkOpenSym` nodes
-  (unless the other switch is enabled) and so doesn't reflect the regular
-  behavior of the switch.
-
-  ```nim
-  const value = "captured"
-  template foo(x: int, body: untyped): untyped =
-    let value {.inject.} = "injected"
-    {.push experimental: "genericsOpenSym".}
-    body
-    {.pop.}
-
-  proc bar[T](): string =
-    foo(123):
-      return value
-  echo bar[int]() # "injected"
-
-  template barTempl(): string =
-    block:
-      var res: string
-      foo(123):
-        res = value
-      res
-  assert barTempl() == "injected"
-  ```
-
-
-
-
-
-## Compiler changes
-
-- `--nimcache` using a relative path as the argument in a config file is now relative to the config file instead of the current directory.
-
-
-
-
-
-## Tool changes
-
-- koch now allows bootstrapping with `-d:nimHasLibFFI`, replacing the older option of building the compiler directly w/ the `libffi` nimble package.

 ## Data flow analysis for Nim.
 ## We transform the AST into a linear list of instructions first to
-## make this easier to handle: There are only 3 different branching
+## make this easier to handle: There are only 2 different branching
 ## instructions: 'goto X' is an unconditional goto, 'fork X'
 ## is a conditional goto (either the next instruction or 'X' can be
-## taken), 'loop X' is the only jump that jumps back.
-##
-## Exhaustive case statements are translated
+## taken). Exhaustive case statements are translated
 ## so that the last branch is transformed into an 'else' branch.
 ## ``return`` and ``break`` are all covered by 'goto'.
 ##
+## Control flow through exception handling:
+## Contrary to popular belief, exception handling doesn't cause
+## many problems for this DFA representation, ``raise`` is a statement
+## that ``goes to`` the outer ``finally`` or ``except`` if there is one,
+## otherwise it is the same as ``return``. Every call is treated as
+## a call that can potentially ``raise``. However, without a surrounding
+## ``try`` we don't emit these ``fork ReturnLabel`` instructions in order
+## to speed up the dataflow analysis passes.

+Join is no more
+===============
+Instead of generating join instructions we adapt our traversal of the CFG.
 
-proc jmpBack(c: var Con, p = TPosition(0)) =
-  c.code.add Instr(kind: loop, dest: checkedDistance(p.int - c.code.len))
+When encountering a fork we split into two paths, we follow the path
+starting at "pc + 1" until it encounters the joinpoint: "pc + forkInstr.dest".
+If we encounter gotos that would jump further than the current joinpoint,
+as can happen with gotos generated by unstructured controlflow such as break, raise or return,
+we simply suspend following the current path, and follow the other path until the new joinpoint
+which is simply the instruction pointer returned to us by the now suspended path.
+If the path we are following now, also encounters a goto that exceeds the joinpoint
+we repeat the process; suspending the current path and evaluating the other one with a new joinpoint.
+If we eventually reach a common joinpoint we join the two paths.
+This new "ping-pong" approach has the obvious advantage of not requiring join instructions, as such
+cutting down on the CFG size but is also mandatory for correctly handling complicated cases
+of unstructured controlflow.
+
+
+Design of join
+==============
+
+block:
+  if cond: break
+  def(x)
+
+use(x)
+
+Generates:
+
+L0: fork lab1
+  join L0  # patched.
+  goto Louter
+lab1:
+  def x
+  join L0
+Louter:
+  use x
+
+
+block outer:
+  while a:
+    while b:
+      if foo:
+        if bar:
+          break outer # --> we need to 'join' every pushed 'fork' here
+
+
+This works and then our abstract interpretation needs to deal with 'fork'
+differently. It really causes a split in execution. Two threads are
+"spawned" and both need to reach the 'join L' instruction. Afterwards
+the abstract interpretations are joined and execution resumes single
+threaded.
+
+
+Abstract Interpretation
+-----------------------
+
+proc interpret(pc, state, comesFrom): state =
+  result = state
+  # we need an explicit 'create' instruction (an explicit heap), in order
+  # to deal with 'var x = create(); var y = x; var z = y; destroy(z)'
+  while true:
+    case pc
+    of fork:
+      let a = interpret(pc+1, result, pc)
+      let b = interpret(forkTarget, result, pc)
+      result = a ++ b # ++ is a union operation
+      inc pc
+    of join:
+      if joinTarget == comesFrom: return result
+      else: inc pc
+    of use X:
+      if not result.contains(x):
+        error "variable not initialized " & x
+      inc pc
+    of def X:
+      if not result.contains(x):
+        result.incl X
+      else:
+        error "overwrite of variable causes memory leak " & x
+      inc pc
+    of destroy X:
+      result.excl X
+
+This is correct but still can lead to false positives:
+
+proc p(cond: bool) =
+  if cond:
+    new(x)
+  otherThings()
+  if cond:
+    destroy x
+
+Is not a leak. We should find a way to model *data* flow, not just
+control flow. One solution is to rewrite the 'if' without a fork
+instruction. The unstructured aspect can now be easily dealt with
+the 'goto' and 'join' instructions.
+
+proc p(cond: bool) =
+  L0: fork Lend
+    new(x)
+    # do not 'join' here!
+
+  Lend:
+    otherThings()
+    join L0  # SKIP THIS FOR new(x) SOMEHOW
+  destroy x
+  join L0 # but here.
+
+
+
+But if we follow 'goto Louter' we will never come to the join point.
+We restore the bindings after popping pc from the stack then there
+"no" problem?!
