Iter 18a: (borrow T) / (own T) mode annotations on fn signatures
Adds form-A surface (borrow T) / (own T) wrappers in fn-type
params and ret slots. Internally these are not new Type variants
but per-position metadata on Type::Fn:
Type::Fn { params, param_modes, ret, ret_mode, effects }
enum ParamMode { Implicit, Own, Borrow }
This keeps Type itself unchanged, so unification, occurs, apply,
and ~190 other Type match-arms in the typechecker need no new
branch. Fields use serde skip-if-default predicates so canonical
JSON hashes for every pre-18a fixture stay bit-identical (sum,
list, hof, closure, list_map, etc.: zero diff under git).
Iter 18a is purely additive: typechecker treats modes as
transparent (mode-compat check deferred to 18c), no codegen
change (--alloc=gc / Boehm path unchanged), no linearity
enforcement. The annotation info flows into the JSON side-table
that 18c will consume.
Equality of mode slices is length-tolerant: a vec![] (the form
written by mechanically-updated construction sites that elide
modes) compares equal to vec![Implicit; n]. This kept the patch
from being a 100-site mechanical migration through the
typechecker. 18c will choose: keep the slack, or normalise to
full-length on construction.
New fixture examples/borrow_own_demo.{ailx,ail.json} exercises
both modes. list_length declares (borrow (con List)); sum_list
declares (own (con List)). Stdout: 3 then 6.
Documentation: DESIGN.md schema-additions block clarified that
modes are Type::Fn metadata (not Type variants); migration plan
flag rename --memory=rc → --alloc=rc to match the existing CLI
flag.
Verification:
- cargo build --workspace green
- cargo test --workspace green (154 tests, +1 vs baseline 153)
- git diff examples/{sum,list,hof,closure,list_map,...}.ail.json: empty
- borrow_own_demo runtime stdout: "3\n6\n"
- canonical JSON contains "param_modes":["borrow"] and ["own"]
