As part of the update I also patched any language and/or other
components (e.g., TGE, Punie, TCL, Pheme, etc.) that use PGE so
that they'll be more consistent with PGE's new calling interfaces.
Hopefully I got it right -- basically, if a test passed in r12441,
it should still be passing in r12442.
Here are the major changes in PGE from an interface perspective
(internally there have been a lot of improvements as well):
* The "PGE::Rule" class is now "PGE::Regex".
* The "PGE::P6Rule" and "PGE::P5Regexp" compilers have been renamed
to "PGE::P6Regex" and "PGE::P5Regex".
* The "rulec.pir" compiler and the "library/PGE/P6Grammar.pir" file
are now gone -- use the new-and-improved "pgc.pir" compiler instead.
* More tests and subsystem tests have been added to t/compilers/pge/ .
* The PGE::Glob compiler front-end to the regex system has been
redesigned.
* PGE's code generation can now generate more efficient PIR output
(although there's still a lot of room for optimization).
* There is preliminary (untested) support for adverbs, including
S05's ":ratchet" adverb. Support for "rule" and "token" statements
will soon be added to pgc.
* More comments have been added to source files -- still not enough
to be reasonable, but that will be corrected soon.
Patches and tests welcomed.
