Replace __ with . as the module qualifier symbol.
Replace references to io.state with just io.
Replace DCGs with state variables.
Replace (C->T;E) syntax for if-then-elses with (if C then T else E) syntax.
Replace if-then-elses with switches when possible and where this does not
affect what is being tested.
Replace separate pred and mode declarations with predmode declarations.
Put predicate and function declarations just before the definition
of the predicate or function.
Delete unneeded module qualifications on predicate and function declarations
and definitions.
Update .exp files (and if needed, .inp files) for the line number changes
that result from the above.
For tests that have more than one .exp file and where one of those files
is affected by the above, add a section to the source file header that says
which .exp file is for what grade, with XXXs for the (as yet) unknown parts.

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 debugger tests,
specify the new line numbers in .inp files and expect them in .exp files.

Consider types of the form
:- type x ---> f.
to be dummy types, since they contain no information. Optimize them the same
way we currently optimize io.state and store.store.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
Add a new type_ctor_rep for dummy types.
runtime/mercury_tabling.h:
Add a representation for "tabled" dummy types, which don't actually
have a level in the trie, so that the runtime system can handle that
fact.
runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h:
When deconstructing a value of a dummy type, ignore the actual value
(since it will contain garbage) and instead return the only possible
value of the type.
runtime/mercury_construct.c:
runtime/mercury_deconstruct.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.c:
runtime/mercury_tabling.c:
runtime/mercury_unify_compare_body.h:

Provide a place to record profiling information about unifications and
comparisons for dummy types.
runtime/mercury_mcpp.h:
java/runtime/TypeCtorRep.java:
library/private_builtin.m:
Add a new type_ctor_rep for dummy types, and fix some previous
discrepancies in type_ctor_reps.
mdbcomp/prim_data.m:
Move a bunch of predicates for manipulating special_pred_ids here from
the browser and compiler directories.
Rename the function symbols of the special_pred_id type to avoid the
need to parenthesize the old `initialise' function symbol.
Convert to four-space indentation.
mdbcomp/rtti_access.m:
Don't hardcode the names of special preds: use the predicates in
prim_data.m.
Convert to four-space indentation.
browser/declarative_execution.m:
Delete some predicates whose functionality is now in
mdbcomp/prim_data.m.
compiler/hlds_data.m:
Replace the part of du type that says whether a type an enum, which
used to be a bool, with something that also says whether the type is a
dummy type.
Convert to four-space indentation.
compiler/make_tags.m:
Compute the value for the new field of du type definitions.
compiler/hlds_out.m:
Write out the new field of du type definitions.
compiler/rtti.m:
Modify the data structures we use to create type_ctor_infos to allow
for dummy types.
Convert to four-space indentation.
compiler/type_ctor_info.m:
Modify the code that generates type_ctor_infos to handle dummy types.
compiler/type_util.m:
Provide predicates for recognizing dummy types.
Convert to four-space indentation.
compiler/unify_proc.m:
Generate the unify and compare predicates of dummy types using a new
code scheme that avoids referencing arguments that contain garbage.
When generating code for unifying or comparing other types, ignore
any arguments of function symbols that are dummy types.
Don't use DCG style access predicates.
compiler/higher_order.m:
Specialize the unification and comparison of values of dummy types.
Break up an excessively large predicate, and factor out common code
from the conditions of a chain of if-then-elses.
compiler/llds.m:
For each input and output of a foreign_proc, include a field saying
whether the value is of a dummy type.
compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
Fill in the new fields in foreign_proc arguments.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
Rename some predicates for constructing unifications to avoid
unnecessary ad-hoc overloading. Clarify their documentation.
Rename a predicate to make clear the restriction on its use,
and document the restriction.
Add a predicate for creating simple tests.
Add a utility predicate for setting the context of a goal directly.
compiler/modules.m:
Include dummy types interface files, even if they are private to the
module. This is necessary because with the MLDS backend, the generated
code inside the module and outside the module must agree whether a
function returning a value of the type returns a real value or a void
value, and this requires them to agree on whether the type is dummy
or not.
The impact on interface files is minimal, since very few types are
dummy types, and changing a type from a dummy type to a non-dummy type
or vice versa is an ever rarer change.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
Provide a representation in the compiler of the trie step for dummy
types.
compiler/layout_out.m:
Print the trie step for dummy types.
compiler/table_gen.m:
Don't table values of dummy types, and record the fact that we don't
by including a dummy trie step in the list of trie steps.

type_infos) to foreign_procs if they are not actually referred to.

Convert to four-space indentation.
library/svvarset.m:
Add a missing predicate.
trace/mercury_trace.c:

tests/debugger/field_names.{m,inp,exp}:
Add to this test case a test of the handling of dummy types. Check that
their values can be printed out during normal execution, and that the
debugger doesn't consider them live nondummy variables, just as it
doesn't consider I/O states live nondummy variables.

runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h:
Fix a bug that caused a runtime abort if you called the library
function named_argument (which is implemented in this file) on
a value of a type which has no field name information at all.
browser/browse.m:
Generate better error messages when an attempt to change to a subterm
fails: say which step failed, and which ones succeeded.
tests/debugger/field_names.{m,inp,exp}:
Strengthen the test case to cover types with no field names at all:
a regression test to check for the bug in mercury_ml_expand_body.h.
Strengthen the test case using several unsuccessful commands, to test
the improved error messsages.
tests/debugger/polymorphic_output.exp*:
Update the expected outputs of this test case to account for the new
error messages.

In mdb's print and browse commands, allow the field to be printed to be
specified by name as well as by number. This required extending the RTTI
for notag types to record field names.
trace/mercury_trace_vars.m:
Allow the field to be printed to be specified by name as well as by
number.
library/std_util.m:
Add code to find out whether a term has a field with a given name,
and if yes, which field that is. At the moment, this functionality
is accessible only from C. (There is no point to adding to the
user-visible interface before a redesign of that interface.)
Fix an old bug: ML_arg() was not compensating for the extra type_info
and/or typeclass_info arguments inserted at the start of a cell for
functors with existentially typed arguments. Document the ML_expand
data structure better to make that bug less likely in the future.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
Add an extra field to the type for notag type functors, recording
the field name of the argument, if it has one.
compiler/rtti.m:
Add a maybe-argument-name field to the record for notag types.
compiler/type_ctor_info.m:
Record the name of the single argument of the single functor of a
notag type, if it has one.
compiler/type_util.m:
Make that argument name available.
compiler/rtti_out.m:
Print out that argument name.
compiler/make_tags.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
Ignore that argument name.
tests/debugger/field_names.{m,inp,exp}:
A new test case to test the printing of subterms specified by field
numbers and/or names.
tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
Enable the new test case.
