Breaking apart namespaces from the main declaration list is, I think,
the most scalable approach to this. If we have more divergence in
supported declarations it gives a fairly straightforward way for
splitting, and roughly mirrors how class_body splits.
Fixes#2980
Removes `__continuation`, `__await`, and `__run`.
In part here, the discussion was that while the feature had been useful for validating the early explorer design, it's no longer needed for that role as the explorer is now quite robust. Continuations have been experimental and, at this point, don't have an owner pushing to a proposal.
The triggering factor is that, as we push to address fuzzer issues, I ran into a crash bug in this code; basically, `fn Main() -> i32 { __await; return 0; }`. When I mentioned this, the reaction seemed to trend towards removal of the feature.
Rename value categories to expression categories based on [Discord discussion](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/753021843459538996/1092924035517665332) regarding naming and behavior.
>* let expression -> value expression
>* var expression -> reference expression
>* located expression -> initializing expression
>So:
>- "value expressions" produce values (with no associated location). "reference expressions" produce a location of an existing value. "initializing expressions" take a location and initialize it.
>- A let binding is initialized by a value expression, because lets represent values (with category conversions performed as needed, but if a conversion is performed from a different category of expression, the value of the object is pinned for the lifetime of the let).
>- A var binding is initialized by an initializing expression, without performing a copy (with category conversions performed as needed, calling a copy constructor if the initializer is a different expression category).
>- The & operator requires a reference expression, and it's an error to give it other kinds.
>- The left-hand side of . requires a value expression when calling a function with a non-addr receiver, and requires a reference expression when calling a function with an addr receiver (it's an error to give it a value expression, and for an initializing expression, a temporary is materialized).
Changes
* Rename "value category" to "expression category"
* Rename Var and Let value categories to Value, Reference, and Initializing expression
* Rename `lvalue` to `location` (most of the time)
This PR is making two main changes to the Explorer and Toolchain:
- Replace the `is` keyword in `where SomeType is SomeInterface` with `impls`, so it is `where SomeType impls SomeInterface`
- Rewrite uses of the "impls" to something else to avoid, frequently "`impl` declarations" or "implementations", to avoid confusion with the `impls` keyword.

The strategy that we use for now to support template instantiation is to check the impl declaration as if it were a generic, but to defer all checking of the impl definition until we see a use in which all template parameters have arguments. At that point, we clone the impl definition and type-check the whole thing, with constant values set on the template parameters corresponding to the given arguments.
No caching of template instantiations is performed yet; each time we form a reference to a template instantiation, we instantiate it afresh. We also don't implement the name lookup rule from #949 yet; lookups during template instantiation look only in the actual type and not in the constraint.
Depends on #2699
### Features
* Add virtual `destructor`s support (Closes#2521)
* Check virtual override for virtual destructors
* Error if attempting to `Delete` a class that does not have virtual destructors from a base class pointer
### Implementation
* Update parser to support virtual override introducers for destructors
* Check virtual override for class destructor and add to class vtable if necessary
* Add corresponding tests
### Notes
Contrary to initial implementation, this implementation leverages the `Address` structure and implements a new `Address::DowncastedAddress()` method to get address from child most class from a base class address. This avoids the need to use `GetAllocationId` and its issues when it comes to having multiple values for an `AllocationId`.
### Next work
Following this PR, we need to:
* Check when using `Delete` that the class was allocated with `New` (WIP)
* Drop the old `GetAllocationId(Value*)` in favor of a better system (WIP)
The design of choice types expects the declaration of an alternative to match the usage: if an alternative is declared as `None`, then it should be used as `None` not `None()`, and if it is declared as `None()` then it should be used as `None()` not `None`. Update explorer to match.
Also clean up the handling of choice types and alternative values a little in general, by moving away from identifying choice types and alternatives as strings and towards identifying them symbolically.
Closes#2422
Support for global variables is still missing; they're a bit more tricky because they use a pattern to introduce their name.
Prior to this change, explorer heavily relied on name comparisons to determine whether two declarations declare the same entity. Some of those instances are fixed in this PR, but more remain to be fixed, and some TODOs are added for some harder-to-fix instances.
First step towards permitting declarations within namespaces. Supports only functions within namespaces for now, with no way to call those functions except from within other such functions. Unqualified lookups within a function in a namespace look in that namespace first.

Add support for user-defined assignment, as well as compound assignment and increment, following the design direction in pending proposal #2511.
Some of this isn't fully testable yet: because explorer doesn't properly support `impl` specialization, the blanket `impl`s in the prelude prevent types from customizing assignment.
Add basic support for `match_first` declarations to explorer, as described in https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/docs/design/generics/details.md#prioritization-rule. The concrete syntax here is not yet approved, so `match_first` is renamed to `__match_first` for now, but the semantics are necessary to implement other approved features in explorer so we're intentionally getting a little ahead of the design here.
Features:
* Add basic support for `impl` virtual methods (override virtual method)
* Error on invalid declaration for `impl` and `virtual`, covering simple use cases
* Add `abstract` fn parser-only support
Changes:
* Modify parser to handle new function specifiers, resolve conflicts
* Group `virtual_override` and `FN`, and group `impl_kind` and `IMPL` to avoid ambiguities with around `impl` token parsing
* Add new `VirtualOverride` enum for function declarations, and matching `virt_override() -> VirtualOverride` getter
* Update function declaration logic
Depends on #2462
Features:
* Add `virtual` virtual override keyword for functions
* Support `virtual` class methods using dynamic dispatch
Changes:
* Add `vtable` in `NominalClassType`,
* Add `NominalClassValue**` in class values pointing to descendant-most class
* Resolve virtual methods during member lookup
Limitations:
* Does not include yet `impl`, `abstract` virtual override keywords, or the complete logic for virtual function declaration
Depends on #2460

- Add support for `.base` field in structs for [parent class initialization](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/docs/design/classes.md#constructors)
- Disabling base class initialization without `.base`
- Support class constructors (`Create() -> Self`) for base classes
- Direct access to base class(es) attributes with `object.var` remains unaffected
Changes:
- Add `TypeChecker::FieldTypesWithBase` to help assessing if a struct with `base` fields can be converted to a class
- Add a new `base_type()` attribute+getter to `NominalClassDeclaration` to as a first step to allow resolving parametrized classes
- Add a new `base` attribute+getter to `NominalClassValue` that contains the base class `NominalClassValue`. It is currently used mainly to get and set members of a class object.
- Add `Interpreter::ConvertClassWithBase` to build `NominalClassValue` from a init struct, that contains `.base` fields with either `NominalClassValue` or `StructValue`
- Add `FindClassField` to find a field in a class or its base classes
- Remove superfluous `ClassDeclaration::base()` in favor of `ClassDeclaration::base_type()`
Limitations;
- Though some work is done in that direction, parametrized base class where time is not know at the declaration site are not supported. Namely the example below does not compile
```
base class A(T:! Type) {}
class B(T:! Type) extends A(T) {}
```
But this one is functional already
```
base class A(T:! Type) {}
class B extends A(i32) {}
```

In particular, this means that a type can implement `ImplicitAs(Type)` and have values of that type behave like types.
This implies that `()` and `{}` are no longer types. They are now values whose type is the result of converting `()` or `{}` to type `Type`, as has been discussed recently and seems to be the supported direction. This fixes various cases where these types were previously mishandled.
Implements basic support for rewrite constraints as proposed in #2173.
Support for associated constants and complex constraints in general is also made more robust: argument deduction now properly computes and substitutes witnesses, and interface declarations track a more correct description of the constraint that they introduce than the one we previously built.
Instead of forming a `SymbolicWitness` that contains an `Expression` when we can't directly resolve a witness to an `impl`, form different kinds of `Witness` values for the various situations:
- A `BindingWitness` witnesses that a type implements a constraint by reference to an `ImplBinding`.
- A `ConstraintWitness` witnesses that a type implements a constraint by reference to witnesses for each of the impl constraints within the constraint.
- A `ConstraintImplWitness` witnesses that a type implements a constraint by reference to a larger constraint which contains that constraint as an impl constraint.
Remove `SymbolicWitness` values and `InstantiateImpl` expressions, which are now unused. In order to remove the final usage of `SymbolicWitness`, I fixed a TODO to give `Self` the proper type within an interface declaration. I don't think this is an observable change.
No functional change intended.
* Multiplication and division have the same priority.
* A new builtin interface DivWith is added.
* In some tests expecting a compilation error (syntax error), the error
message now says it is expecting SLASH or binary *.
* Replay changes from pre-force-push mixin branch
* Base MixinPseudoType off of the new InterfaceType
* Add more test cases.
Also removed an unnecessary check that would have already been
handled by the parser.
* WIP detect member clashes during mixing mixins
* Implement fuzzer changes
* Implement member name clash check when mixing mixins
* Modify parser and lexer for experimental mixin feature
* Add comments
* Update explorer/testdata/mixin/simple-mix-in-mixin.carbon

Provides a first implementation iteration towards class prefix and extension, along with user-friendly error regarding missing implementation for #1881
**Explorer behavior**
For class prefix `base` and `abstract`:
```
Class prefixes `base` and `abstract` are not supported yet
```
For extension with `extends`:
```
Class extension with `extends` is not supported yet
```
**Motivation**
* Provides user-friendly error for these unsupported features
* First implementation increment in supporting class prefix and extension.
Following #1191, add initial support for bitwise operators. Support for both
integer operations and for operator overloading via the interfaces specified in
#1191 is provided.

This allows us to combine multiple Errors together without repeating the prefix
information. Also fixes several cases where two "COMPILATION ERROR" prefixes
would be prepended to the same message when errors with prefixes and locations
were produced by the lexer and parser.
Allows unformed state for local variables. Reports a run-time error when an unformed local variable is used.
- Added declaration without initialization for local variables in the parser.
- Made the init expression of VariableDefinition optional.
- Expanded (alive, dead) to (uninitialized, alive, dead) in the Heap.

Basic support for declaring, specifying the values of, and using associated constants.
This is incomplete in various ways. For example, when checking whether a type satisfies a constraint, there is no check that its associated constants match those in the constraint, and name lookup into a value whose type is an associated constant is not supported yet.

This PR implements the `returned var` for the explorer.
- Enabled `returned var` and `return var` syntax in lexer and parser.
- Split `Return` statement into `ReturnVar` and `ReturnExpression` to distinguish the two types of returns.
- Added logic in name resolution, type checking and interpretation to process `returned var` definition and `ReturnVar` statement.
`.Self` is modeled as a new kind of expression, `DotSelfExpression`. Name resolution associates each occurrence of a `DotSelfExpression` with a generic binding, much like for an `IdentifierExpression`.
Both `:!` bindings and `where` expressions bring `.Self` into scope. The tentative intent is that if there are multiple `.Self`s in scope and they refer to different bindings, the result of using a `.Self` expression is an ambiguity error, but that is not implemented in this patch. Instead, like for `IdentifierExpression`s, we find the innermost enclosing definition of `.Self`.
`.Foo` expressions are rewritten to `.Self.Foo`, but this isn't enough to make them do anything useful, because associated constants aren't supported in general yet.
Build constraint types from `where` expressions. This is very bare-bones; there's no support for constraining `.Self` or associated types yet, but degenerate cases not involving self-reference work.
`==` constraints are syntactically supported but not semantically verified yet, and they aren't used for anything.
The syntax permitted in an `interface` is similar to, but different from, that permitted elsewhere. For example, associated constant declarations (`let T:! Type;`) with no initializers are valid in interfaces but nowhere else, and are a different kind of declaration from what a normal `let` declaration would produce both syntactically and semantically.
Because interfaces and impls permit only a very small subset of the complete set of kinds of declaration, it's simpler to list only the kinds that are permitted rather than to allow an arbitrary declaration and semantically disallow the invalid cases, and it's also likely to lead to better error messages as we won't try to parse unintended or meaningless things.
