Nim 1.4.x compiled the below code without error when using
`--experimental:strictFuncs`
import std/sequtils
type Foo = ref object
let foo1 = Foo()
let foo2 = Foo()
let foos = @[foo1, foo2]
let fooTuples = @[(foo1, 1), (foo2, 2)]
discard repeat(foo1, 3)
discard zip(foos, foos)
discard unzip(fooTuples)
However, since 2020-12-09, devel Nim produced errors like
/tmp/bar.nim(11, 15) template/generic instantiation of `repeat` from here
/foo/nim/pure/collections/sequtils.nim(172, 6) Error: 'repeat' can have side effects
an object reachable from 'x' is potentially mutated
/foo/nim/pure/collections/sequtils.nim(183, 15) the mutation is here
/foo/nim/pure/collections/sequtils.nim(183, 15) is the statement that connected the mutation to the parameter
This commit reverts some `proc` to `func` changes so that code that:
- calls `repeat`, `zip`, or `unzip`
- and instantiates them with types containing `ref`
can once again be compiled with `strictFuncs`. Otherwise, a user might
be forced to drop or alter their `strictFuncs` use when upgrading from
Nim 1.4.x, or when writing new code that uses these procedures (at least
for now, with the current `strictFuncs` implementation).
This commit also adds tests to assert that the remaining funcs in this
module can be compiled with `strictFuncs` when used with types
containing `ref`.
The original batch of `proc` to `func` changes in `sequtils.nim` was in
commit 6f57ebae34, which was partially reverted in 38eb021f81.
