The idea is that this will let me remove these assertions that were in place to
make sure we were really conservative around specializing ownership code. For me
to remove that I need to be able to actually test out this code (since I think
there are some code paths where this will trigger in other parts of the compiler
now).
So to work out the kinks, I added a flag that allows for the generic specializer
to process ownership code and translated most of the .sil test cases/fixed any
bugs that I found. This hopefully will expose anything that is missing.
NOTE: I have not enabled the generic specializer running in ownership in the
pipeline. This is just a step in that direction by adding tests/etc.
I am going to leave in the infrastructure around this just in case. But there is
no reason to keep this in the tests themselves. I can always just revert this
and I don't think merge conflicts are likely due to previous work I did around
the tooling for this.
Allow 'static' (or, in classes, final 'class') operators to be
declared within types and extensions thereof. Within protocols,
require operators to be marked 'static'. Use a warning with a Fix-It
to stage this in, so we don't break the world's code.
Protocol conformance checking already seems to work, so add some tests
for that. Update a pile of tests and the standard library to include
the required 'static' keywords.
There is an amusing name-mangling change here. Global operators were
getting marked as 'static' (for silly reasons), so their mangled names
had the 'Z' modifier for static methods, even though this doesn't make
sense. Now, operators within types and extensions need to be 'static'
as written.
