- scheme/sort/* added by hand (for some reason it wasn't merged in)
- currently, some READ-PARAGRAPH tests don't pass: apparently,
due to some problems with the regexp library.
- extend the VM interrupts to distinguish between read and write
events
- add new ADD-PENDING-CHANNEL instruction to the VM
- add WAIT-FOR-CHANNELS procedure to the run-time system
- implement SELECT and SELECT! on top of that in newports.scm
This runs some basic tests, but in general should be considered
largely untested.
Moreover, SELECT/SELECT! never detect any exceptional conditions---the
returned vectors are always empty. This is because the VM doesn't
really track those, and it's unclear whether it would be worth the
effort.
