Flow analysis: implement type promotion for record patterns.

For each subpattern of a record pattern, we define its "demonstrated
type" to be the type that the matched value has been promoted to if
the subpattern match succeeds.  At the conclusion of visiting a record
pattern, we promote the whole record pattern's matched value to a
record type formed by combining together the demonstrated types of the
subpatterns.  So, for example, the pattern `(int _, String _)`
promotes the matched value to `(int, String)`.

This change contains a lot of specific tests, to make sure the
demonstrated type of each kind of pattern behaves as expected; but the
actual machinery is general, since it just takes advantage of the type
promotion performed by the subpatterns.

Dart

A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app.

  • Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
