- remove unnecessary includes
- expunge all remaining usages of boost::format
- able to leave out the expliti string(elm) in output
- drop various operator<<, since we're now picking up
custom string conversions automatically
- delete diagnostics headers, which are now largely superfluous
- use newer helper functions occasionally
I didn't blindly change any usage of <iostream> though;
sometimes, just using the output streams right away
seems adequate.
while in debugging, it turned out that the short type-prefix
was implemented in a too simplistic way; it fails on stuff
like 'lib::diff::Record<lib::diff::GenNode>'
while I must add, that the whole purpose of these ID functions
is somewhat unclear and needs to reveal itself as we move forward
