2023-06-15 r/6308 fix(tvix/eval): make tvix display values like nix-instantiate(1)sterni1-0/+2
In order for the test suite we have currently to be comparable to C++ Nix, we need to display values in the same way. This was largely the case except in some weird cases. * <CODE> for thunks and <CYCLE> for repeated thunks (?) are already in use. <CODE> formatting is tested by the oracle test suite already. * Instead of lambda, we need to use <LAMBDA> * <<primop>> and <<primop-app>> (a formatting C++ Nix uses nowhere) now are <PRIMOP> and <PRIMOP-APP>. We'll probably want to have a fancier display of values (in a separate trait) down the line. This could be used for interactive usage, e.g. the REPL or a potential debugger. There is a peculiarity with C++ Nix 2.3 formatting primops: import is considered a <<PRIMOP-APP>>, since it is internally implemented by means of scopedImport. This implementation detail no longer leaks in C++ Nix 2.13 nor in Tvix. <CYCLE> display is untested at the moment, since we exhibit a discrepancy to C++ Nix 2.3. Our current detection is more similar to C++ Nix 2.13—luckily it is also the more consistent of the two. See also b/245.
