WIP, but potentially working already; needs judicious tests. Addresses part of #682.
Based on the sketch in #682, the to-do list is roughly
Typesparse_repr_attribute,parse_int_suffix,implicit_impl, and centralized spotting; all seem legitIf anyone would like to pick this up, feel free to do so (and/or PR tests onto my branch)!
Note that this does not handle builtins (that is,
Box,UniquePtr,SharedPtr,WeakPtr,Vec,CxxVector, andstr), which are different from atoms (that is,bool,c_char,uNN,iNN,fNN,CxxString,String). Those will take more thorough refactoring to weaken similarly.
