print-str, print-i64, print-f64, print-bytes, print-line and newline leave
the prelude. print and println are the whole printing surface now, and print
is the better call at every one of the sites that used them: it is the same
structural walk without the newline, so the no-newline case the family was
kept for is covered, and it takes the value as it is. The old print-i64
forced an explicit (i64 x) at every call site, because this language widens
nothing implicitly; that cast is gone from 127 places.
Dropping it moves one answer. hash-grid returns u64, and the cast through
the signed printer showed sand-headless's hash as -2851001042534928384.
print routes a u64 through flan_u64_to_bytes, so it now prints
15595743031174623232 — the same 64 bits, read as the unsigned number they
are. The pinned expectation follows the correction.
test-flan-dev.el and test_session.ml both reached for print-line as "a name
the prelude has"; they reach for rand-seed instead.
The parser decides "return type or first body form?" from the set of type
names the file declares, and an import is resolved after parsing - so a
package's structs cannot be in that set by construction. (defn mk [] rl/Vector2
...) therefore read the return type as the body and failed with "unknown name
rl/Vector2", which names the symptom and not the cause.
The signal is the alias plus the capital, and both halves are needed. An alias
is syntactically obvious and the same pre-pass collects it. A bare capitalised
symbol is never a value in this language - a struct or union constructor is
(Name {...}), a List, and an enum member is a keyword - so the hazard the
surrounding comment warns about, a body form eaten as a return type, has no
form of this shape to eat. A lowercase qualified name stays an expression,
which is what rl/get-color has to be.
Found by the raylib lane, which hit it on rl/Vector2 and reported it rather
than reaching into a file it did not own.
