+Function `echo` outputs the wrong string.
+
+### Example
+```nim
+echo "Hello World!"
+# This code should be a minimum reproducible example:
+# try to simplify and minimize as much as possible. If it's a compiler
+# issue, try to minimize further by removing any imports if possible.
+```
+
+### Current Output
+please check whether the problem still exists in git head before posting,
+see [rebuilding the compiler](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/intern.html#rebuilding-the-compiler).
+```
+Hola mundo!
+```
+
+### Expected Output
+```
+Hello World!
+```
+
+### Possible Solution
+
+* In file xyz there is a call that might be the cause of it.
+
+### Additional Information
+If it's a regression, you can help us by identifying which version introduced
+the bug, see [Bisecting for regressions](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/intern.html#bisecting-for-regressions),
+or at least try known past releases (eg `choosenim 1.2.0`).

-## 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:"
+- `prelude` now works with the JavaScript target.
 
-- Added `system.readRawDataStable`, a companion to `readRawData` that returns a
-  raw `ptr UncheckedArray[char]` into a string's character data which stays valid
-  across moves and copies of the string value. It is available under every string
-  implementation (refc, ARC/ORC and `--strings:sso`) with the same signature, so
-  code can pin an interior buffer pointer today and be ready for `--strings:sso`
-  without `when declared` guards. Under `--strings:sso` it promotes a small inline
-  string to its heap representation first; under the other implementations the data
-  is already heap-resident, so it is equivalent to `readRawData`.
+- Added `ioutils` module containing `duplicate` and `duplicateTo` to duplicate `FileHandle` using C function `dup` and `dup2`.
 
-- `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.
+- The JSON module 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.
 
-- `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
+- Added `randState` template that exposes the default random number generator. Useful for library authors.
 
-- `std/dirs` adds:
-  - New directory operation procs with `Path` support:
-    - `copyDir` with special file handling options
-    - `copyDirWithPermissions` to recursively preserve attributes
+- Added `asyncdispatch.activeDescriptors` that returns the number of currently
+  active async event handles/file descriptors
 
-- `system.setLenUninit` now supports refc, JS and VM backends.
-- `system.setLenUninit` for the `string` type. Allows setting length without initializing new memory on growth.
-
-- `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.
-
-- `std/nre2` is added to replace deprecated NRE.
-
-- `system.typeof` adds a new parameter `modifierMode` to specify how type modifiers are handled.
-
-[//]: # "Changes:"
-
-- `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.
-- `std/pegs` now correctly lexes UTF-8 bytes inside bare identifier-style
-  terminals, so case-insensitive matching of non-ASCII terms (e.g. ``\i café``)
-  works without single-quoting.
-- `std/uri`: The `?` operator now appends query parameters to an existing query
-  string instead of replacing it. Fixes [#19782](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/19782).
 
 ## Language changes
 
-- 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.
+- `nimscript` now handles `except Exception as e`
 
-  ```nim
-  # objs.nim
-  import std/hashes
+- The `cstring` doesn't support `[]=` operator in JS backend.
 
-  type
-    Obj* = object
-      x*, y*: int
-      z*: string # to be ignored for equality
 
-  proc `==`*(a, b: Obj): bool =
-    a.x == b.x and a.y == b.y
-
-  proc hash*(a: Obj): Hash =
-    $!(hash(a.x) &! hash(a.y))
-  ```
-
-  ```nim
-  # main.nim
-  {.experimental: "typeBoundOps".}
-  from objs import Obj # objs.hash, objs.`==` not imported
-  import std/tables
-
-  var t: Table[Obj, int]
-  t[Obj(x: 3, y: 4, z: "debug")] = 34
-  echo t[Obj(x: 3, y: 4, z: "ignored")] # 34
-  ```
-
-  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.

-# v1.6.0 - 2021-10-14
-
-
-
-# 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
-
-- [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.
-- [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.

-
-
-## 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.

-## The "cnif" artifact: the C code generator's output as a NIF file.
-##
-## This is deliberately *not* NIFC: the C text is kept verbatim (Nim's
-## C-level machinery — exception handling in particular — is more refined
-## than what NIFC models today; the gap can be closed incrementally later).
-## The only structure the artifact adds is the part dead code elimination
-## and generic-instance merging need:
-##
-## - raw C text as string literals
-## - every *global* entity's C name as a `Symbol` token
-## - every emitted proc definition as a `(cdef SymbolDef flags ...)` group
-##
-## The C generator marks names with control characters at the single place
-## a global's C name is minted (`fillBackendName`) and emits a definition
-## directive at the single place finished procs are appended; the marks then
-## ride through all of the snippet composition untouched. This module turns
-## the final marked module text into the `.c.nif` artifact and strips the
-## marks for the actual `.c` output. Rendering C from the artifact is a
-## plain token walk: string literals verbatim, symbols by name — which is
-## also where a later merge step redirects losing generic instances.
-##
-## Marker scheme (cannot collide: C string literals escape control chars,
-## and `\1`/`\31`/`\23` of cgen's postprocess directives are distinct):
-##   \2 name \3                       a global's C name
-##   \4 name \31 flags \31 nif \5     start of the definition of `name`;
-##                                    `nif` is the defining symbol's NIF name
-##                                    (empty for backend-minted symbols) so a
-##                                    later run can re-demand the definition
-##   \4 \5                            end of the definitions section

+## make this easier to handle: There are only 2 different branching
 ## instructions: 'goto X' is an unconditional goto, 'fork X'

-## Exhaustive case statements are translated

+## 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

+Join is no more
+===============
+Instead of generating join instructions we adapt our traversal of the CFG.
+
+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?!
+
+
+while cond:
+  prelude()
+  if not condB: break
+  postlude()
+
+--->
+var setFlag = true
+while cond and not setFlag:
+  prelude()
+  if not condB:

+  if not setFlag:    # HERE

+var setFlag = true
+while cond and not setFlag:
+  prelude()
+  if not condB:
+    postlude()
+    setFlag = true
+

+-------------------------------------------------
+
+while cond:
+  prelude()
+  if more:
+    if not condB: break
+    stuffHere()
+  postlude()
+

+var setFlag = true

+      setFlag = false
+    else:
+      stuffHere()
+      postlude()
+  else:
+    postlude()
+
+This is getting complicated. Instead we keep the whole 'join' idea but
+duplicate the 'join' instructions on breaks and return exits!
