Language Changes

V0.1

• The GOAL language version has been set to 0.1
• Calling a function with unknown argument/return types is now an error instead of a warning
• Getting a method of an object or type with method returns the correct type for methods using the _type_ feature
• The object-new macro will now type check arguments
• The size argument to (method object new) is now an int instead of int32
• Using set! incorrectly, like (set! 1 2) will now create an error instead of having no effect
• GOOS now has a fmt form which wraps libfmt for doing string formatting.
• GOOS now has an error form for throwing an error with a string to describe it
• GOAL if now throws errors on extra arguments instead of silently ignoring them
• The first 1 MB of GOAL memory now cannot be read/written/executed so dereferencing a GOAL null pointer will now segfault
• The runtime now accepts command line boot arguments
• The runtime now defaults to loading KERNEL.CGO and using its kernel-dispatcher function.
• The runtime now accepts a -nokernel parameter for running without KERNEL.CGO.
• The runtime will now refuse to load object files from another major GOAL version
• Using &+ and &+! now produces a pointer with the same type as the original.
• There is a &- which returns a uint and works with basically any input types
• The & operator works on fields and elements in arrays
• The &-> operator has been added
