New submission from Larry Hastings:
The long-awaited, highly desirable "buffer" patch is here! With features I
figured would never see the light of day.
Changes in this patch:
* New directive "output":
output <field> <destination>
redirects a "field" (subsection of Clinic's generated code)
to an alternate "destination" (someplace besides the output block)
predefined destinations: block buffer file two-pass suppress
* Alternate use of "output":
output preset <name>
redirects all destinations en mass based on a precreated scenario
predefined presets: original file buffer partial-buffer two-pass
* New directive "destination":
destination <name> <type> [<filename>]
creates new destinations for use with "output"
valid types: buffer file two-pass suppress
* New directive "dump":
dump <destination>
dumps the contents of a destination into the current file
* New directive "preserve":
preserve
preserves the current output in an output block (used by "file"
destinations)
* New directive "set":
set line_prefix <prefix>
set line_suffix <suffix>
* New output template, uses PyArg_UnpackTuple
* New compact output template, for simple METH_O, only one line
* "args" and "kwargs" variables in C renamed to "_args" and "_kwargs"
Patch is not ready for checkin, as it still needs documentation. But it's
ready for code review!
There's a lot of churn in the C files. That's due to the following
changes, in order of frequency:
* "args" -> "_args"
* "kwargs" -> "_kwargs"
* new concise METH_O template
* PyArg_UnpackTuple generator
