[Swift-devel] Updates - Tests

[Mihael Hategan]

This is now in trunk after a few modifications.
What's to be noted about key types (an probably put in some
documentation):
1. Appendable arrays need to be declared like this: a[auto]. "auto" is a
valid type, in that one can do the following:
int[auto] a; a << 1; a << 2;
int[auto] b;
foreach v, k in a {
  auto k2 = k;
  b[k2] = v;
}

2. a[] means a[int].

3. When mapping keys the standard mappers do the following to get the
part of a filename corresponding to a key:
 - for int keys, behave as previously (i.e. use the value)
 - for float keys, use the hex representation of the double value
 - for any other keys, base64(SHA-1(<the string representation of the
object>))

The problem of representing arbitrary-typed keys remains, especially
when stepping out of the primitive area.
------
I've also changed the following:
- the internal representation of an int value now uses java.lang.Integer
as opposed to java.lang.Double.
- arrays can now be declared properly: int[] intArray vs. int
intArray[]. But the old method still works.
- a recursive-descent parser has been added for paths (due to the
complexities of now being able to use floats and strings as keys).

All local tests pass.

So  thanks Yadu!
