Do not display the `For more information try recompiling with `-E'' prompt

Add support for nested modules.
- module names may themselves be module-qualified
- modules may contain `:- include_module' declarations
which name sub-modules
- a sub-module has access to all the declarations in the
parent module (including its implementation section).
This support is not yet complete; see the BUGS and LIMITATIONS below.
LIMITATIONS
- source file names must match module names
(just as they did previously)
- mmc doesn't allow path names on the command line any more
(e.g. `mmc --make-int ../library/foo.m').
- import_module declarations must use the fully-qualified module name
- module qualifiers must use the fully-qualified module name
- no support for root-qualified module names
(e.g. `:parent:child' instead of `parent:child').
- modules may not be physically nested (only logical nesting, via
`include_module').
BUGS
- doesn't check that the parent module is imported/used before allowing
import/use of its sub-modules.
- doesn't check that there is an include_module declaration in the
parent for each module claiming to be a child of that parent
- privacy of private modules is not enforced
-------------------
NEWS:
Mention that we support nested modules.
library/ops.m:
library/nc_builtin.nl:
library/sp_builtin.nl:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
Add `include_module' as a new prefix operator.
Change the associativity of `:' from xfy to yfx
(since this made parsing module qualifiers slightly easier).
compiler/prog_data.m:
Add new `include_module' declaration.
Change the `module_name' and `module_specifier' types
from strings to sym_names, so that module names can
themselves be module qualified.
compiler/modules.m:
Add predicates module_name_to_file_name/2 and
file_name_to_module_name/2.
Lots of changes to handle parent module dependencies,
to create parent interface (`.int0') files, to read them in,
to output correct dependencies information for them to the
`.d' and `.dep' files, etc.
Rewrite a lot of the code to improve the readability
(add comments, use subroutines, better variable names).
Also fix a couple of bugs:
- generate_dependencies was using the transitive implementation
dependencies rather than the transitive interface dependencies
to compute the `.int3' dependencies when writing `.d' files
(this bug was introduced during crs's changes to support
`.trans_opt' files)
- when creating the `.int' file, it was reading in the
interfaces for modules imported in the implementation section,
not just those in the interface section.
This meant that the compiler missed a lot of errors.
library/graph.m:
library/lexer.m:
library/term.m:
library/term_io.m:
library/varset.m:
compiler/*.m:
Add `:- import_module' declarations to the interface needed
by declarations in the interface. (The previous version
of the compiler did not detect these missing interface imports,
due to the above-mentioned bug in modules.m.)
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/intermod.m:
Change mercury_compile__maybe_grab_optfiles and
intermod__grab_optfiles so that they grab the opt files for
parent modules as well as the ones for imported modules.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
Minor changes to handle parent module dependencies.
(Also improve the wording of the warning about trans-opt
dependencies.)
compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
Ignore `:- include_module' declarations.
compiler/module_qual.m:
A couple of small changes to handle nested module names.
compiler/prog_out.m:
compiler/prog_util.m:
Add new predicates string_to_sym_name/3 (prog_util.m) and
sym_name_to_string/{2,3} (prog_out.m).
compiler/*.m:
Replace many occurrences of `string' with `module_name'.
Change code that prints out module names or converts
them to strings or filenames to handle the fact that
module names are now sym_names intead of strings.
Also change a few places (e.g. in intermod.m, hlds_module.m)
where the code assumed that any qualified symbol was
fully-qualified.
compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
Move sym_name_and_args/3, parse_qualified_term/4 and
parse_qualified_term/5 preds from prog_io_goal.m to prog_io.m,
since they are very similar to the parse_symbol_name/2 predicate
already in prog_io.m. Rewrite these predicates, both
to improve maintainability, and to handle the newly
allowed syntax (module-qualified module names).
Rename parse_qualified_term/5 as `parse_implicit_qualified_term'.
compiler/prog_io.m:
Rewrite the handling of `:- module' and `:- end_module'
declarations, so that it can handle nested modules.
Add code to parse `include_module' declarations.
compiler/prog_util.m:
compiler/*.m:
Add new predicates mercury_public_builtin_module/1 and
mercury_private_builtin_module/1 in prog_util.m.
Change most of the hard-coded occurrences of "mercury_builtin"
to call mercury_private_builtin_module/1 or
mercury_public_builtin_module/1 or both.
compiler/llds_out.m:
Add llds_out__sym_name_mangle/2, for mangling module names.
compiler/special_pred.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:
compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
Move the predicates in_mode/1, out_mode/1, and uo_mode/1
from special_pred.m to mode_util.m, and change various
hard-coded definitions to instead call these predicates.
compiler/polymorphism.m:
Ensure that the type names `type_info' and `typeclass_info' are
module-qualified in the generated code. This avoids a problem
where the code generated by polymorphism.m was not considered
type-correct, due to the type `type_info' not matching
`mercury_builtin:type_info'.
compiler/check_typeclass.m:
Simplify the code for check_instance_pred and
get_matching_instance_pred_ids.

Disallow directory names in command-line arguments.

compiling sub-modules.
scripts/Mmake.rules:
scripts/Mmake.vars.in:

tests/general/.cvsignore:
Change the `:- module string__format_test' declaration in
`string__format_test.m' to `:- module string_format_test',
because with the original declaration the `__' was taken
as a module qualifier, which lead to an error message.
Hence rename the file accordingly, to avoid the warning
about file name not matching module name.
