// Package skylark provides a Skylark interpreter.
//
// Skylark values are represented by the Value interface.
// The following built-in Value types are known to the evaluator:
//
//      NoneType        -- NoneType
//      Bool            -- bool
//      Int             -- int
//      Float           -- float
//      String          -- string
//      *List           -- list
//      Tuple           -- tuple
//      *Dict           -- dict
//      *Set            -- set
//      *Function       -- function (implemented in Skylark)
//      *Builtin        -- builtin_function_or_method (function or method implemented in Go)
//
// Client applications may define new data types that satisfy at least
// the Value interface.  Such types may provide additional operations by
// implementing any of these optional interfaces:
//
//      Callable        -- value is callable like a function
//      Comparable      -- value defines its own comparison operations
//      Iterable        -- value is iterable using 'for' loops
//      Sequence        -- value is iterable sequence of known length
//      Indexable       -- value is sequence with efficient random access
//      HasBinary       -- value defines binary operations such as * and +
//      HasAttrs        -- value has readable fields or methods x.f
//      HasSetField     -- value has settable fields x.f
//      HasSetIndex     -- value supports element update using x[i]=y
//
// Client applications may also define domain-specific functions in Go
// and make them available to Skylark programs.  Use NewBuiltin to
// construct a built-in value that wraps a Go function.  The
// implementation of the Go function may use UnpackArgs to make sense of
// the positional and keyword arguments provided by the caller.
//
// Skylark's None value is not equal to Go's nil, but nil may be
// assigned to a Skylark Value.  Be careful to avoid allowing Go nil
// values to leak into Skylark data structures.
//
// The Compare operation requires two arguments of the same
// type, but this constraint cannot be expressed in Go's type system.
// (This is the classic "binary method problem".)
// So, each Value type's CompareSameType method is a partial function
// that compares a value only against others of the same type.
// Use the package's standalone Compare (or Equal) function to compare
// an arbitrary pair of values.
//
// To parse and evaluate a Skylark source file, use ExecFile.  The Eval
// function evaluates a single expression.  All evaluator functions
// require a Thread parameter which defines the "thread-local storage"
// of a Skylark thread and may be used to plumb application state
// through Sklyark code and into callbacks.  When evaluation fails it
// returns an EvalError from which the application may obtain a
// backtrace of active Skylark calls.
