Discussion of these changes can be found on the Mercury developers
mailing list archives from June 2018.
COPYING.LIB:
Add a special linking exception to the LGPL.

Update references to COPYING.LIB.
Clean up some minor errors that have accumulated in copyright
messages.

Specify the type constructor for every inst definition that lists
the functors that values of that type may be bound to.
In library/maybe.m, delete the inst maybe_errors/1, because
(a) its name is misleading, since it is for the maybe_error/1 type (no s),
and (b) there is already an inst with the non-misleading name maybe_error
which had an identical definition.
In compiler/dep_par_conj.m, delete two insts that were duplicates
of insts defined in hlds_goal.m, and replace references to them
accordingly.

browser/tree234_cc.m:
Fix inconsistencies between (a) the order in which functions and predicates
are declared, and (b) the order in which they are defined.
In most modules, either the order of the declarations or the order
of the definitions made sense, and I changed the other to match.
In some modules, neither made sense, so I changed *both* to an order
that *does* make sense (i.e. it has related predicates together).
In some places, put dividers between groups of related
functions/predicates, to make the groups themselves more visible.
In some places, fix comments or programming style.
browser/MDB_FLAGS.in:
Since all the modules in this directory are now free from any warnings
generated by --warn-inconsistent-pred-order-clauses, specify that option
by default in this directory to keep it that way.

Make these tests use four-space indentation, and ensure that
each module is imported on its own line. (I intend to use the latter
to figure out which subdirectories' tests can be executed in parallel.)
These changes usually move code to different lines. For the tests
that check compiler error messages, expect the new line numbers.
browser/cterm.m:

Import only one module per line.
tests/hard_coded/boyer.m:
Fix something I missed.

Move the univ, maybe, pair and unit types from std_util into their own
modules. std_util still contains the general purpose higher-order programming
constructs.
library/std_util.m:
Move univ, maybe, pair and unit (plus any other related types
and procedures) into their own modules.
library/maybe.m:
New module. This contains the maybe and maybe_error types and
the associated procedures.
library/pair.m:
New module. This contains the pair type and associated procedures.
library/unit.m:
New module. This contains the types unit/0 and unit/1.
library/univ.m:
New module. This contains the univ type and associated procedures.
library/library.m:
Add the new modules.
library/private_builtin.m:
Update the declaration of the type_ctor_info struct for univ.
runtime/mercury.h:
Update the declaration for the type_ctor_info struct for univ.
runtime/mercury_mcpp.h:
runtime/mercury_hlc_types.h:
Update the definition of MR_Univ.
runtime/mercury_init.h:
Fix a comment: ML_type_name is now exported from type_desc.m.
compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
Update the the name of the module that defines univs (which are
handled specially by the il code generator.)
library/*.m:
compiler/*.m:
browser/*.m:
mdbcomp/*.m:
profiler/*.m:
deep_profiler/*.m:
Conform to the above changes. Import the new modules where they
are needed; don't import std_util where it isn't needed.
Fix formatting in lots of modules. Delete duplicate module
imports.
tests/*:
Update the test suite to confrom to the above changes.

Branches: main
browser/*.m:
Replace __ with . as the module qualifier everywhere in all the modules
of the browser directory. Convert the currently tab-indented modules
to four-space indentation. Delete some unnecessary module
qualifications. Change some type names and function symbols to avoid
ambiguities. Replace a bunch of uses of DCGs with state variable
notation.

Implement a committed choice version of 234-trees which uses
compare_representation instead of builtin compare. Use this to implement
the declarative debugger's oracle knowledge base, instead of the standard
library map. We do this because the keys used by the oracle may contain
non-canonical terms, which would cause a runtime abort if used as map
keys.
This completes the changes to the declarative debugger to support the
debugging of higher order code. (There is still a problem in that the
declarative debugger back end does not filter out external events for
higher order calls. This means that the declarative debugger asks
questions about what are effectively calls to call/N, which is not
necessary since we assume that call/N is correct. This is a problem
unrelated to this change, so I will deal with it separately.)
browser/tree234_cc.m:
The new sub-module of mdb, which implements the 234-trees.
browser/declarative_oracle.m:
Use the new module instead of library/map.m. Propagate the
effect of the calls to committed choice code.
browser/mdb.m:
Include the new module.
tests/debugger/declarative/Mmakefile:
Enable two old test cases, higher_order and ite_2, that now work
after this change. Add a new test case that tests closures
with some arguments applied.
tests/debugger/declarative/higher_order.exp:
tests/debugger/declarative/higher_order.inp:
tests/debugger/declarative/ite_2.exp:
tests/debugger/declarative/ite_2.inp:
Provide input and expected output for these tests.
tests/debugger/declarative/ho2.exp:
tests/debugger/declarative/ho2.inp:
tests/debugger/declarative/ho2.m:
New test case.
