Reflection API exhibits a tension inherent to experimental things:
on the one hand we want it to grow into a beautiful and robust API,
but on the other hand we have to deal with immaturity of underlying mechanisms
by providing not very pretty solutions to enable important use cases.
In Scala 2.10, which was our first stab at reflection API, we didn't
have a systematic approach to dealing with this tension, sometimes exposing
too much of internals (e.g. Symbol.deSkolemize) and sometimes exposing
too little (e.g. there's still no facility to change owners, to do typing
transformations, etc). This resulted in certain confusion with some internal
APIs living among public ones, scaring the newcomers, and some internal APIs
only available via casting, which requires intimate knowledge of the
compiler and breaks compatibility guarantees.
This led to creation of the `internal` API module for the reflection API,
which provides advanced APIs necessary for macros that push boundaries
of the state of the art, clearly demarcating them from the more or less
straightforward rest and providing compatibility guarantees on par with
the rest of the reflection API.
This commit does break source compatibility with reflection API in 2.10,
but the next commit is going to introduce a strategy of dealing with that.

Now when resetAllAttrs is gone, we can use a shorter name for the one
and only resetLocalAttrs.

This is the first commit in the series. This commit only:
1) Splits Context into BlackboxContext and WhiteboxContext
2) Splits Macro into BlackboxMacro and WhiteboxMacro
3) Introduces the isBundle property in the macro impl binding
Here we just teach the compiler that macros can now be blackbox and whitebox,
without actually imposing any restrictions on blackbox macros. These
restrictions will come in subsequent commits.
For description and documentation of the blackbox/whitebox separation
see the official macro guide at the scaladoc website:
http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/macros/blackbox-whitebox.html
Some infrastructure work to make evolving macros easier:
compile partest-extras with quick so they can use latest library/reflect/...

An extractor is no longer required to return Option[T], and
can instead return anything which directly contains methods
with these signatures:
def isEmpty: Boolean
def get: T
If the type of get contains methods with the names of
product selectors (_1, _2, etc.) then the type and arity
of the extraction is inferred from the type of get. If
it does not contain _1, then it is a single value
extractor analogous like Option[T].
This has significant benefits and opens new territory:
- an AnyVal based Option-like class can be used which
leverages null as None, and no allocations are necessary
- for primitive types the benefit is squared (see below)
- the performance difference between case classes and
extractors should now be largely eliminated
- this in turn allows us to recapture great swaths of
memory which are currently squandered (e.g. every
TypeRef has fields for pre and args, even though these
are more than half the time NoPrefix and Nil)
Here is a primitive example:
final class OptInt(val x: Int) extends AnyVal {
def get: Int = x
def isEmpty = x == Int.MinValue // or whatever is appropriate
}
// This boxes TWICE: Int => Integer => Some(Integer)
def unapply(x: Int): Option[Int]
// This boxes NONCE
def unapply(x: Int): OptInt
As a multi-value example, after I contribute some methods to TypeRef:
def isEmpty = false
def get = this
def _1 = pre
def _2 = sym
def _3 = args
Then it's extractor becomes
def unapply(x: TypeRef) = x
Which, it need hardly be said, involves no allocations.

The first in the family of mutators for the global symbol table,
`introduceTopLevel` is capable of creating synthetic top-level
classes and modules.
The addition of nme.EMPTY_PACKAGE_NAME is necessary to let
programmers insert definitions into the empty package. That's explicitly
discouraged in the docs, but at times might come in handy.
This patch introduce workarounds to avoid incompatibilities with SBT.
First of all SBT doesn't like VirtualFiles having JFile set to null.
Secondly SBT gets confused when someone depends on synthetic files
added by c.introduceTopLevel.
Strictly speaking these problems require changes to SBT, and that will be
done later. However the main target of the patch is paradise/macros,
which needs to be useful immediately, therefore we apply workarounds.
