Implement numeric coercers for Date/DateTime

Basically implement PRs #5151 and #5152 as a single revertable commit. As suggested by Márton Polgár.
This also implements Mu.Int on type objects. This could be considered wrong, as then maybe other specific numeric coercers should also be handled in Mu (think: .Rat / .Num / .Complex). This approach was taken over starting a new proto in Date.

Allow * to be used as identity on classify|categorize (#5140)

In response to github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/5134
Note that this also allows the :as parameter to be used, such as creating lists of indices of a particular value in a list:
   $ raku -e 'say (1,1,1,2,1,2).classify(*, :as({$++}))'
   {1 => [0 1 2 4], 2 => [3 5]}

vrurg_ lizmat++ 15:20
15:20 vrurg_ is now known as vrurg
vrurg lizmat: BTW, a few days ago it crossed my mind that separating internal representation of Raku language version from its public one would make it much easier to transition to a new versioning scheme. It would require lesser amount of logic changes. 15:22
lizmat explain :-) 15:23
vrurg Internal Version class which is v1.0. Version.as-perl6: v6.c; Version.as-raku: v2015. 15:25
v2 -> v6.d, v3.PREVIEW -> v6.e.PREVIEW 15:26
So, internally we only have numbers. 15:28
lizmat ah, ok, maybe a bit like Darwin versions vs MacOS versions :-) 15:29
vrurg The only problem with v20xx scheme to me is that it implies specific release year. But we currently have no idea as to when the next version is to be released. 15:30
lizmat we could use a generic "Blead" version, akin to v6.* now ?
vrurg vBlead? Nah... 15:32
lizmat well, whatever the name 15:33
we could just keep v6.* for historic reasons
vrurg But this is what I like in this separation: the representation can be decided upon later, I wouldn't affect how things work internally.
lizmat perhaps the public version value should not be a sec Version value, but a subclass with its own comparison rules ? 15:34
vrurg m: say Version.new("v*").Str 15:35
camelia v.*
vrurg Actually, the internal Version is planned to be a private NQP class of Perl6::Compiler. 15:36
The public API would be LanguageVersionServices and all "communications" would go through it. 15:37
The public API would be LanguageVersionServices and all "communications" would go through it. 15:38
lizmat isn't that overkill ?
vrurg nqp::getcomp("Raku").lvs.from-perl6("v6.e.PREVIEW"). Not really. But does a good separation of concerns case. 15:40
The Version class could be re-used for other purposes if considered useful. But anything related to the actual language versioning is better be kept away from it. 15:41

Add a RakuAST::ApplyPostfix.on-topic method

Returns True if the Postfix is being apply on a lexical $_, to facilitate nicer deparsing more easily

Add extensive deparsing tests on statement modifiers

Also make some on return values more specific. And use the new ApplyPostfix.on-topic method for nicer deparsing.

RakuAST: Fix using regexes as where blocks

While Regex objects are code, we cannot call them directly, but instead need to call their .ACCEPTS method, just like non-code objects. This will create the required Cursor, deal with $/ and all the other magic, regexes need.

RakuAST: Fix quoted words as trait values

We blindly assumed that a trait value was given in parentheses or square brackets, i.e. Circumfixes, but they can also just be QuotedStrings (i.e. <foo>). Actually that specialization was only required because we couldn't interpret Circumfixes, so just implement that support instead.

lizmat nine jnthn is there a way that you can have a Blockoid without a Block, or vice-versa? 18:24
in other words, what creates the blockiness: the Block or the Blockoid ? 18:25
in other words: should Block or Blockoid deparse with { } ? 18:26
nine Both. Block is a first class language construct while Blockoid is more a unit of organization in the AST. 18:37

m: say Q/BEGIN 42/.AST.dump # nine known issue ? 20:24
camelia ===SORRY!===
Unknown compilation input 'qast'
nine Works when run with RAKUDO_RAKUAST=1 20:27
lizmat that's... weird, as .AST uses the Raku grammar / actions 20:29
nine But nqp::getcomp('Raku') returns a non-RakuAST compiler 20:30
lizmat but that's ok as long as it use the right grammar / actions ? 20:32
I mean, src/main.nqp uses the same compiler, whether RAKDO_RAKUAST is set or not 20:33
nine I don't know. I also don't care :) After all, it's a problem that will go away by itself and there are tons of problems still there that won't. 20:34
lizmat yeah, sure
it just makes testing RakuAST::StatementPrefix::Phaser::Begin a bit difficult :-) 20:35
vrurg lizmat: The compiler is technically the same class, but the grammar/actions are different. 20:37
lizmat right, that's what I thought :-) 20:38
vrurg: how did the class / course go ?
vrurg lizmat: It's not up to me to decide. I felt a little sick, so not as good as I wished it to be. 20:39
Speaking of the compiler, look a t/12-rakuast/origins.rakutest.
lizmat is there a video already ?
vrurg I've got a link to a could recording, but it asks for some passcode which I don't have. 20:40
lizmat meh
I guess we need to ask someone at TPRF to release it to Youtube or so?
vrurg Oh, got a reply ~20mins ago about it. Anyway, I'd need to edit the video first. 20:41
I'll release it after editing.
lizmat oki looking forward to it!

Hopefully fix indenting issues in deparsing

The problem was really caused by a thinko: having the deparse proto unconditionally create a $*INDENT dynamic variable, doesn't help when you're calling .deparse inside a .deparse. Fix by only creating a single $*INDENT the first time .deparse is called.
