Ichthyostega bad4827b34 Upgrade: Literal can be constexpr
Only minor rearrangements necessary to make that possible with C++20
And while at this change (which requires a full rebuild of Lumiera)

- simplify the defined comparison operators, as C++20 can infer most variations
- also mark various usages of `const char*` either as Literal or CStr

Remark: regarding copyright, up to now this is entirely my work,
        with two major creation steps in 2008 (conception) and
        in 2017 (introduction of a symbol table)

/** @file event-log.hpp
** Support for verifying the occurrence of events from unit tests.
** Typically used within special rigging and instrumentation for tests,
** the [EventLog] allows to record invocations and similar events. It is
** implemented as a "PImpl" to allow sharing of logs, which helps to trace
** events from transient UI elements and from destructor code. The front-end
** used for access offers a query DSL, so the test code may express some
** expected patterns of incidence and verify match or non-match.
**
** # Usage
**
** The EventLog just captures invocations in memory, as sequence of
** [string records](\ref lib::diff::Record). The _logging API_ offers some
** dedicated functions to record invocations, events, the creation and destruction
** of objects, warnings and error messages. Data passed to those logging functions
** is rendered into string, using Lumiera's generic string conversion helpers.
**
** To _verify and match_ on log contents, start an evaluation as a builder (DSL)
** expression, starting from one of the #verify functions, or starting with #ensureNot,
** to probe that a given set of matches does not occur in the log. These entrance
** functions set up the initial search condition, and further search conditions
** can be chained up by invoking suitable matching functions on the generated
** EventMatch builder. Most notably, it is possible to search for some further
** match condition _before_ or _after_ the position where the preceding condition
** produced a match -- allowing to specify sequences and patterns of events to
** expect in the log
** \code{.cpp}
** EventLog log("baked beans");
** log.event("spam");
** log.event("ham");
**
** CHECK (log.verify("ham")
** .after("beans")
** .before("spam")
** .before("ham"));
** \endcode
** In general, this kind of search with a switch of the search direction in the middle
** of a match requires some backtracking to try possible matches until exhaustion.
**
** Failure of match prints a detailed trace message to `STDERR`, in order
** to deliver a precise indication what part of the condition failed.
** @note this sequence prints the matches succeeding _at the point_ where each
** condition is added to the chain. Adding more conditions, especially when
** combined with changed search direction, might lead to backtracking, which
** happens silently within the search engine, without printing any further
** diagnostics. This means: the sequence of matches you see in this diagnostic
** output is not necessarily the last match path, which leads to final failure
** @warning as such EventLog is deliberately _not threadsafe_
**
** @see EventLog_test
** @see [usage example](\ref AbstractTangible_test)
**
