To be also able to build mruby without presym in the future. However,
`MRB_QSYM` has been removed and changed as follows:
### Example
| Type | Symbol | Previous Style | New Style |
|---------------------------|--------|------------------|----------------|
| Operator | & | MRB_QSYM(and) | MRB_OPSYM(and) |
| Class Variable | @@foo | MRB_QSYM(00_foo) | MRB_CVSYM(foo) |
| Instance Variable | @foo | MRB_QSYM(0_foo) | MRB_IVSYM(foo) |
| Method with Bang | foo! | MRB_QSYM(foo_b) | MRB_SYM_B(foo) |
| Method with Question mark | foo? | MRB_QSYM(foo_p) | MRB_SYM_Q(foo) |
| Mmethod with Equal | foo= | MRB_QSYM(foo_e) | MRB_SYM_E(foo) |
This change makes it possible to define, for example, `MRB_IVSYM(foo)` as
`mrb_intern_lit(mrb, "@" "foo")`, which is useful if we support building
without presym in the future.
Rename new functions:
- `mrb_convert_type(mrb,val,type,tname,method)`
=> `mrb_type_convert(mrb,val,type,tname,method)`
- `mrb_check_convert_type(mrb,val,type,tname,method)`
=> `mrb_type_convert_check(mrb,val,type,tname,method)`
Old names are defined by macros (support `tname` drop and
`char*` => `mrb_sym` conversion).
- Integrate `Fixnum` and `Integer`
- Remove `Integral`
- `int / int -> int`
- Replace `mrb_fixnum()` to `mrb_int()`
- Replace `mrb_fixnum_value()` to `mrb_int_value()`.
- Use `mrb_integer_p()` instead of `mrb_fixnum_p()`
- `MRB_WITHOUT_FLOAT` => `MRB_NO_FLOAT`
- `MRB_USE_FLOAT` => `MRB_USE_FLOAT32`
The former is to use `USE_XXX` naming convention. The latter is to make
sure `float` is 32bit float and not floating point number in general.
- `mrb_convert_type`
- `mrb_check_convert_type`
Those function no longer take `tname` string representation of desired
type, and take method symbols instead of `const char*` names. This is
incompatible change. I hope no third-party gems use those functions.
The binary sizes (gems are only `mruby-bin-mruby`) are reduced slightly in
my environment than before the introduction of new specifiers/modifiers
(5116789a) with this change.

BTW, I accidentally changed `tasks/toolchains/visualcpp.rake` at #4613,
so I put it back.
We have added internal convenience method `__to_str` which
does string type check.
The issue #3854 was fixed but fundamental flaw of lack of stack
depth check along with fibers still remains. Use `MRB_GC_FIXED_ARENA`
for workaround.
The ISO standard does not include implicit type conversion using
`to_int`. This implicit conversion often causes vulnerability.
There will be no more attacks like #4120.
In addition, we have added internal convenience method `__to_int` which
does type check and conversion (from floats).
Inline structures have no instance variables, no finalizer, and offer as much space as possible in RBASIC object. This means 24 bytes on 64-bit platforms and 12 bytes on 32-bit platforms.
mruby-inline-struct gem is only provided for testing.
Dr Markus Kuhn published in 1999 an article [1] explaining in details
why we shouldn't use the ASCII grave accent (0x60) as a left quotation.
Backticks have been used most notably to produce nice-looking LaTeX
documents but it doesn't seem to be an issue on modern platforms and
for the oldest ones, there are workarounds as mentioned by Dr Kuhn.
