Sessions 10–12 from QUALITY_PLAN:
- Pattern payload bindings (Some(value) => value) in bootstrap and selfhost
- Empty-param closures via || (tkPipePipe) with loop/return bodies
- Expression-form match: let x = match …; newline before arms
- f"…" string interpolation desugared to String_Concat + conversions
- Lexer preserves \{ \} for literal braces in f-strings
- Bootstrap fix: f"plain" strips the f prefix after escape processing
- Examples: pattern_matching, closure_control, match_let, string_interp
Selfhost-loop remains binary-identical; all examples and error goldens pass.
Lower match to if-else for literals, ranges, enum tags, and wildcards.
Fix bootstrap literal arms that always matched; port real arm AST/parser
and Lcx_LowerMatch to selfhost with last-expression return. Expand
pattern_matching example and add parse/use-after-move/double-mut golden
diagnostics. Selfhost-loop remains binary-identical.
Introduce fat function pointers (BuxFn {code, env}) so capturing closures
are heap-allocated per value in both bootstrap and selfhost. Expand
Array/Map/Set/String/Test/Result APIs, add proper tuple codegen and
error snippets with multi-char underlines, golden diagnostic tests, and
LSP diagnostics via buxc check.
- Add statement for function-level deferred execution
- Deferred expressions run in LIFO order on function exit (return or implicit)
- Bootstrap: desugar defers in hir_lower.nim (inject before return + end of func)
- Selfhost: emit defers in c_backend.bux via CEmitter defer stack
- Both: add tkDefer token, skDefer AST node, hDefer HIR node
- Parser, lexer, sema, token files updated in both bootstrap/ and src/
