Contracts and Adaptors

This is a proposal for an alternate syntax for contracts for generics in Go, along with adaptors for types that do not natively fulfill the contract. It takes a lot of inspiration from Pat Smith's Go Generics with Adaptors.

It is primarily motivated by the discussion about how to make a single generic function work both with builtin types that use operators and with user-defined types that use methods.

Unifying the ideas of Contracts and Interfaces - Contract Embedding

This proposal is largely based on my previous proposal, which can be found here. It had a few problems though, which are fixed by this proposal.

The draft's reason to not use interfaces

It is unclear how to represent operators using interface methods. We considered syntaxes like +(T, T) T, but that is confusing and repetitive. Also, a minor point, but ==(T, T) bool does not correspond to the == operator,

In case anyone else wants to play with Zig on webassembly, here's what you need to do to make it work on a mac today.

1. Get LLVM 7 compiled with webassembly support.

You'll need LLVM to output to the WASM target. This has just been added by default in trunk, so if LLVM >7 is available, you might be able to just brew install llvm.

If you have wasm support already you should see:

$ llc --version

'''Pexpect is a Python module for spawning child applications and controlling
them automatically. Pexpect can be used for automating interactive applications
such as ssh, ftp, passwd, telnet, etc. It can be used to a automate setup
scripts for duplicating software package installations on different servers. It
can be used for automated software testing. Pexpect is in the spirit of Don
Libes' Expect, but Pexpect is pure Python. Other Expect-like modules for Python
require TCL and Expect or require C extensions to be compiled. Pexpect does not
use C, Expect, or TCL extensions. It should work on any platform that supports
the standard Python pty module. The Pexpect interface focuses on ease of use so
that simple tasks are easy.
