Lasse R.H. Nielsen ff5f391c0a Tweak expect.dart library.
Make API more consistent for a few methods.
Reduce the number of language features used in tests:
* Never iterating an iterable, always converting it
  using `.toList()` first and iterating using indices
  (fx `setEquals`).
  Also require a `List` in places where an `Iterable`
  wasn't necessary.
* Avoid doing complicated computations that are also
  used for the error message. Do simple check first,
  then recompute to get better error messages
  (fx `allDistinct`).

Renamed some rarely used members for consistency
(`stringContainsInOrder`->`containsInOrder`,
where other string-contains functions just start
with `contains`, and `containsOneOf` -> `containsAny`
to match `Iterable.any` phrasing, and also it accepts
if containing at least one, not precisely one.)

Removed a function that wasn't used anywhere.

Moved `assertStatementsEnabled` to `variations.dart` as `asserts`.
Removed `typeAssertionsEnabled` and `checkedModeEnabled`. The former used in one place, where it was replaced with `checkedImplicitDowncasts` from `variations.dart`, the latter wasn't used anywhere.

Deprecates `package:expect/minitest.dart`. It was never intended
to be used for new tests, only as a help to convert existing tests
written against `package:unit_test`.
All existing imports marked as `// ignore: deprecated_member_use`.

Dart Kernel

Dart Kernel is a small high-level language derived from Dart. It is designed for use as an intermediate format for whole-program analysis and transformations, and to be consumed by codegen and execution backends.

The kernel language has an in-memory representation in Dart and can be serialized as binary or text.

Both the kernel language and its implementations are unstable and are under development.

This package contains the Dart part of the implementation and contains:

  • A transformable IR for the kernel language
  • Serialization of kernel code

Note: The APIs in this package are in an early state; developers should be careful about depending on this package. In particular, there is no semver contract for release versions of this package. Please depend directly on individual versions.

See ast.dart for the in-memory IR, or binary.md for a description of the binary format. For now, the textual format is very ad-hoc and cannot be parsed back in.
