Produce JS-visible string results as UTF-16 at their source, including
numeric formatting, BigInt and BigFraction formatting, URI encoding,
console formatting, parser errors, regular expression errors, Intl and
Temporal records, LibUnicode locale boundaries, and LibWeb bindings.
Handle fractional radix formatting through the UTF-16 builder view.
Thread UTF-16 string input through JSON, script parsing, Date parsing,
Intl option parsing, Temporal parsing, and the helper library boundaries
that feed those parsers. Preserve ASCII fast paths where the source data
is known to be ASCII.
This is an editorial change in the ECMA-402 spec. See:
https://github.com/tc39/ecma402/commit/a2beb66
We implement this change by introducing a virtual interface that all
Intl "service" objects must implement. A future patch will make use of
the virtualized RelevantExtensionKeys and ResolutionOptionDescriptors
accessors, and we will need to be able to use those slots from a generic
instance type.
There's a bit of a UTF-8 assumption with this change. But nearly every
caller of these methods were immediately creating a String from the
resulting ByteString anyways.
Resulting in a massive rename across almost everywhere! Alongside the
namespace change, we now have the following names:
* JS::NonnullGCPtr -> GC::Ref
* JS::GCPtr -> GC::Ptr
* JS::HeapFunction -> GC::Function
* JS::CellImpl -> GC::Cell
* JS::Handle -> GC::Root
