This subject was initially discussed in https://discourse.julialang.org/t/efficient-way-to-split-string-at-specific-index/83115/17 regarding a way to split a string into equal-length substrings.

The solutions discussed involved (for a string composed of 10 blocks of 8 strings)

• using a comprehension split8(str::String) = [str[i+1:8] for i in 0:8:length(str)]
• using a comprehension and `S

Whiskers' regex looks for <..> as opposed to tokenizing the input, so it is not able to detect truncated/mistyped input.

For example it can't detect that <!b is not terminated in<?b> X <!b Y </b>.

With some heuristics it could be improved: match for <?, <! and </ and only allow identifiers which are terminated with >, otherwise it is invalid.

Consider the following program:

class C

primitive P

actor Main
  new create(env: Env) =>
    env.out.print(if C is C then "C is C" else "C is NOT C" end)
    env.out.print(if P is P then "P is P" else "P is NOT P" end)

As expected, it fails with identity comparison with a new object will always be false. But then try the following program that manually desugars the cre

Motivation

The Git class currently doesn't support submodules which prevents for example using submodules in Quark repos.

Description of Proposed Feature

Add a submodule method to Git and add submodule recursion to the Quark install step, eg adding the --recurse-submodules git flag to the clone command. This will download an
