Subject: [PATCH 03/24] First version of capture checker.

A squashed version of the following commits:

Handle byname parameters
Don't force symbol completion when printing flags or annotations
Check overrides and disallow non-local inferred capture types
Handle `this` in capture sets
Print capture variable dependencies under -Ydebug-cc
Avoid spurious error message

Avoid spurious error message
"cannot be tracked since its capture set is empty".

This arose in lazyref.scala for a DependentTypeTree in an anaonymois function.
Dependent type trees map to normal TypeTrees, not InferredTypeTrees (and things
go wrong if we try to change that).
Drop TopType

Consider bounds of type variables to be boxed
More tests
Avoid multiple maps when creating symbol infos

Use a single BiTypeMap to map from inferred result and parameters
to method info.

This improves efficiency and debuggability by reducing the frequence of
multiple stacked maps capture sets.
Refactor with CompareResult#andAlso
Refactoring: use isOK on CompareResult
Reflect inferred parameter types in enclosing method type

The variables in the inferred parameter type of an anonymous function need
to also show up in the closure type itself, so that they can be constrained.
Don't interpolate parameters of anonymous functions

Here, we should wait until we get the info from the outside, which can
be arbitrarily much later.
Compute upper approximation of bimapped sets from both sides
Fail when trying to add new elements to mapped sets

It's the safe option.
Print full origin trail of derived capture sets under -Ycc-debug
Fix isEmpty condition in well-formedness check
Make printing capture sets dependent on -Ycc-debug
Recursion brake for upperApprox
Fixes to upperApprox
Make instantiteRT a BiTypeMap

Otherwise we will not be able to do upper approximations of parameters.
Interpolate only variables at negative polarity

Interpolating covariant variables risks restricting capture sets to early.
For instance, when a variable has the capture set of a called function in
its capture set. When we have indirectly recursive calls it could be that
the capture set of a called function is not yet fully formed.
Interpolate type variables when symbols are completed
Allow for possibility that variables are constant
Only recomplete symbols if their info changes
Add completions to Rechecker

Complete val and def definitions lazily on first access. Now,
recheckDefDef and recheckValDef are called the first time the
new info of the defined symbol is needed, or, if the info is
never needed, when the typer gets to the definitions. This
only applied to definitions with inferred types. The others
are handled in typer sequence, as before.

The motivation of the change is that some modifications to
inferred types of symbols can be made in subclasses without
running into ordering problems.
More fixes for subCapture
New setting -Ycc-debug for more info on capture variables
Fix subCapture in frozen state

Previously, we still OKed two empty variables to be compared with
subcapture in the frozen state. This should give an error.
Direct comparisons of dependent function types
Revert: Special treatment of dependent functions in TypeComparer
change test
Also treat explicit capturing type arguments as boxed
Print subcapturing steps in -explain traces
Don't decorate type variables with additional capture sets
Boxed CapturingTypes
Drop unsound capture suppression if expected type is boxed

If expected type is boxed, the expression still contributes to the captured
variables of its environment.
Re-infer result types of anonymous functions
Keep erased implicit args
Special treatment of dependent functions in TypeComparer
Fix addFunctionRefinements
Always print refined function types as dependent functions.

Makes it easier to see what goes on.
Make CaptureSet ++ and ** simplify more
Refine function types when reinferring so that they can be dependent
Fix avoidance problem when typing blocks

We should not pass en expected type when rechecking the expression
of a block since that can add local references to global capture set variables.

Also: tests for lists and pairs
Print empty variables with "?"
Fix printing untyped annotations
Fix printing annotations in trees
Drop redundant code
Refactor map operations on capture sets
Intoduce Bi-Mapped CaptureSets

Report an error is a simply mapped capture set gets new elements that do not come
from the original souurce. Introduce a new abstraction of bi-mapped sets that accept
new elements and propagate them to the original source.
Add map operation to SimpleIdentitySet
Restrict tracked class parameters to vals
Handle local classes and secondary constructors
Fix CapturingType precedence when printing
First stab at handling classes
Bug fixes

 1. Fix canBeTracked for TermRefs

    only TermRefs where prefix is NoPrefix or `this` can be tracked. The
    others have to be widened.

 2. Fix rule for comparing capture refs on the left

 3. Be more careful where comparisons are frozen
Capture checker for functions

Subject: [PATCH 06/24] Add capture checks for mutable variables

 - Mutable variables have boxed types, so that we do not
   need to track them when computing capture sets of classes.
 - Mutable variable types cannot capture `*` in order to
   prevent scope extrusion.

Subject: [PATCH 11/24] Special rule for {this} in capture sets of class
 members

Consider the lazylists.scala test in pos-custom-args/captures:
```scala
class CC
type Cap = {*} CC

trait LazyList[+A]:
  this: ({*} LazyList[A]) =>

  def isEmpty: Boolean
  def head: A
  def tail: {this} LazyList[A]

object LazyNil extends LazyList[Nothing]:
  def isEmpty: Boolean = true
  def head = ???
  def tail = ???

extension [A](xs: {*} LazyList[A])
  def map[B](f: {*} A => B): {xs, f} LazyList[B] =
    class Mapped extends LazyList[B]:
      this: ({xs, f} Mapped) =>

      def isEmpty = false
      def head: B = f(xs.head)
      def tail: {this} LazyList[B] = xs.tail.map(f)  // OK
    new Mapped
```
Without this commit, the second to last line is an error since the right hand side
has capture set `{xs, f}` but the required capture set is `this`.

To fix this, we widen the expected type of the rhs `xs.tail.map(f)` from `{this}` to
`{this, f, xs}`. That is, we add the declared captures of the self type to the expected
type. The soundness argument for doing this is as follows:

Since `tail` does not have parameters, the only thing it could capture are references that the
receiver `this` captures as well. So `xs` and `f` must come via `this`. For instance, if
the receiver `xs` of `xs.tail` happens to be pure, then `xs.tail` is pure as well.

On the other hand, in the neg test `lazylists1.scala` we add the following line to `Mapped`:
```scala
      def concat(other: {f} LazyList[A]): {this} LazyList[A] = ??? : ({xs, f} LazyList[A]) // error
```
Here, we cannot widen the expected type from `{this}` to `{this, xs, f}` since the result of concat
refers to `f` independently of `this`, namely through its parameter `other`. Hence, if `ys: {f} LazyList[String]`
then
```
   LazyNil.concat(ys)
```
still refers to `f` even though `LazyNil` is pure. But if we would accept the definition of `concat`
above, the type of `LazyNil.concat(ys)` would be `LazyList[String]`, which is unsound.

The current implementation widens the expected type of class members if the class member does not
have tracked parameters. We could potentially refine this to say we widen with all references in
the expected type that are not subsumed by one of the parameter types.

## Changes:

### Refine rule for this widening

We now widen the expected type of the right hand side of a class member as follows:

Add all references of the declared type of this that are not subsumed by a capture set
of a parameter type.

### Do expected type widening only in final classes

Alex found a counter-example why this is required. See map5 in

From f134adb289cc535c44b1a07941698622dc0cecba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Martin Odersky <odersky@gmail.com>
Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2021 11:53:08 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 12/24] Pure function types -> and ?->

 1. Allow `->` and `?->` and function operators, treated like `=>` and `?=>`.
 2. under -Ycc treat `->` and `?->` as immutable function types, whereas `A => B`
    is an alias of `{*} A -> B` and `A ?=> B` is an alias of `{*} A ?-> B`.

Closures are unaffected, we still use `=>` for all closures where they are pure or not.
Improve printing of capturing types

Avoid explicit retains annotations also outside phase cc
Generate "Impure" function aliases

For every (possibly erased and/or context) function class
XFunctionN, generate an alias ImpureXFunctionN in the Scala package defined as

    type ImpureXFunctionN[...] = {*} XFunctionN[...]

Also:

 - Fix a bug in TypeComparer: glb has to test subCapture in a frozen state
 - Harden EventuallyCapturingType extractor to not crash on illegal capture sets
 - Cleanup transformation of inferred types

Subject: [PATCH 14/24] Shorthand for curried functions

Propagate capture sets to the right in curried functions. Example:

    {x} A -> B -> C

is a shorthand for

    {x} A -> {x} B -> C

or:

    (x: {*} A) -> B -> C

is a shorthand for

    (x: {*} A) -> {x} B -> C

or:

    ({*} A) -> B -> C

is a shorthand for

    (x$0: {*} A) -> {x$0} B -> C

Also: allow empty capture sets in types

This gives a more convenient override to disable capture set propagation
in curried types than wrapping in a type alias. E.g. compare

    {x} A -> {} B -> C

with

    {x} A -> Protect[B -> C]

where

    type Protect[X] = X

Also: refactoring to move setup code from Rechecker and CheckCaptures into a joint
class cc.Setup.

Subject: [PATCH 17/24] Handle captures in by-name parameters

 1. Infrastructure to deal with capturesets in byname parameters

 2. Handle retainsByName annotations in ElimByName

    Convert them to regular annotations on the generated function types.
    This enables capture checking on by-name parameters.

 3. Add a style warning for misleading by-name parameter type formatting.

    By-name types should be formatted `{...}-> T`. `{...} -> T` looks too much
    like a function type.

Subject: [PATCH 18/24] Treat exceptions as capabilities

 1. Make CanThrow a @capability class
 2. Fix pure arrow handling in parser
 3. Avoid misleading type mismatch message
 4. Make map and filter conserve Const capturesets if there's no change
 5. Expand $throws clauses to context function types
 6. Exempt compiletime.erasedValue for "no '*'" checks
 7. Capability escape checking for try

Subject: [PATCH 22/24] Three changes to typing rules

The following two rules replace #13657:

 1. Exploit capture monotonicity in the apply rule, as discussed in #14387.
 2. A rule to make typing nested classes more flexible as discussed in #14390.

There's also a bug fix where we now enforce a previously missing subcapturing relationship
between the capture set of parent of a class and the capture set of the class itself. Clearly
a class captures all variables captured by one of its parent classes.
