As with all those C++ base types, unfortunately they are giving you
only rough size guarantees. For Lumiera, I defined short hand names
some time ago, notably because the explicit long X and short X qualifiers
do not work with ''constructor syntax'' for direct conversions.
But I choose the name `f128` at that time -- which might raise ill-guided
expectations, since the `long double` is not that long on relevant linux 64bit
platforms; it can just hold 64bit of mantissa at least however.
As replacement, I'll use `lflo` now, because it has also 4 letters,
looks somewhat weird (and thus catches attention) and points into the
right direction. I considered `lfloat` as alternative, but that looks
too much like `float`, visually...
Well, finally.
Lumiera Iterators were conceived as a concept from the very beginning,
and this idea dates back even before C++11. Furthermore, over time some
''trait templates'' have been developed, to detect if some template argument
might match the known pattern of functions associated with a Lumiera Iterator.
Meanwhile this concept is used pervasively in the whole code base, and also
the traits templates proved to be reliable. It therefore seems that the time is ripe
to gradually introduce a genuine **concept** `lum_iter`
I'll take a defensive approach here, since any mistake would lead to
a massive breakage of compilation. The new concept is defined simply
by delegating to to the tried-and-tested trait template, which is
also renamed `can_IterForEach` ⟼ `can_LumieraIter`
One immediate benefit is that the compiler is now able to select
overloads based on that concept, which allows to drop the tricky
selection of variants based on the SFINAE technique and `enable_if`.
For validation, one very heavily used case of that pattern was switched
in `lib/format-util.hpp', which notably lies in the code-path used by `util::join`
This resolves a long-standing issue:
we could not use proper include paths for test-helper code that was defined alongside the tests.
Since some test-helper code must now be relocated into the »Vault«-Layer,
I took the opportunity to finally resolve this annoyance. The solution is two-fold
* introduce a dedicated test-support library
* remove the quirks that were necessary to support some plain-C tests
Together, this allows to raise the include-directory by one level,
and then to adjust all folder names so that they match the namespace
