This PR adds a new
UnboxedArray
type and various operations on it andImmutableArray
that allow for more efficient bulk operations on arrays. The array operations are described here.Most operations have just been added as new builtins, and will need to be wrapped in e.g.
@unsion/base
. However, I addedImmutableArray.toList
(a.k.aArray.Raw.toList
) as a function replacement, because it was already a predef inIOSource
.This could use some more thorough testing by @SystemFw and @pchiusano , but I'll add the examples from the spec as a transcript.
