t-call-context is a feature that's supposed to mask the rendering
context completely, but currently the component remains available
through `this`.
This commit stops treating `this` as a reserved word, so that it's
compiled to a lookup in the rendering context, and adds `this` to the
rendering context when binding the component's rendering function. With
these changes, `this` behaves the same as before when outside a
t-call-context, but when the rendering context is overriden, the
template can no longer access `this`. `this` still represents the
instance of the component inside of the rendering function since it's
needed by owl internally.
A side-effect of this change is that now the rendering context is no
longer the instance of the component by default, but is always an object
with the component in its prototype chain. This was already the case
before in some contexts (eg inside t-foreach, or inside components with
a t-set/t-call anywhere in its template). This can cause issues in rare
cases when a component method was called directly on the rendering
context, as before this change, the method's bound this would be the
component instance (except in a t-foreach, component with a
t-set/t-call, etc), while after this change it is now never the
component instance. When the method only reads on `this` there is no
issue as all the components properties are available on the rendering
contexts, but setting a value on `this` will write on the rendering
context and not the component which is likely a mistake.
While this is a breaking change, simply adding a t-set/t-call to any
template would break components that would be broken by this change,
with this in mind we decided to make this change anyway so that
developers get the error as early as possible in the development cycle
rather than having a seemingly inocuous change break code under them.
This commit makes all errors thrown in owl use a custom error class. The
main point of this is to always wrap user-code errors that happen during
the owl lifecycle so that they can be treated uniformly in onError by
checking the cause property, and also allows user code to differenciate
owl errors from non-owl errors reliably at runtime.
Previously, the support for the "in" operator was iffy, and "new" was
not supported at all, "in" would fail when checking if a nested property
was in something else, as the leading space would be stripped, and "new"
would fail because the following space would be stripped.
This commit fixes that by preserving the significant whitespace where
necessary.
