// Package starlark provides a Starlark interpreter.
//
// Starlark values are represented by the Value interface.
// The following built-in Value types are known to the evaluator:
//
//	NoneType        -- NoneType
//	Bool            -- bool
//	Bytes           -- bytes
//	Int             -- int
//	Float           -- float
//	String          -- string
//	*List           -- list
//	Tuple           -- tuple
//	*Dict           -- dict
//	*Set            -- set
//	*Function       -- function (implemented in Starlark)
//	*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
//	Mapping         -- value maps from keys to values, like a dictionary
//	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
//	HasSetKey       -- value supports map update using x[k]=v
//	HasUnary        -- value defines unary operations such as + and -
//
// Client applications may also define domain-specific functions in Go
// and make them available to Starlark 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.
//
// Starlark's None value is not equal to Go's nil. Go's nil is not a legal
// Starlark value, but the compiler will not stop you from converting nil
// to Value. Be careful to avoid allowing Go nil values to leak into
// Starlark 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 Starlark 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 Starlark thread and may be used to plumb application state
// through Starlark code and into callbacks.  When evaluation fails it
// returns an EvalError from which the application may obtain a
// backtrace of active Starlark calls.
