## Each module implicitly imports the System module; it must not be listed

proc defined*[T](x: T): bool {.magic: "Defined", noSideEffect.}
## Special compile-time procedure that checks whether `x` is
## defined. `x` has to be an identifier or a qualified identifier.
## This can be used to check whether a library provides a certain
## feature or not:
##
## .. code-block:: Nimrod
## when not defined(strutils.toUpper):
## # provide our own toUpper proc here, because strutils is
## # missing it.
proc definedInScope*[T](x: T): bool {.
magic: "DefinedInScope", noSideEffect.}
## Special compile-time procedure that checks whether `x` is
## defined in the current scope. `x` has to be an identifier.

## Boolean not; returns true iff ``x == false``.

magic: "NewFinalize", noSideEffect.}
## creates a new object of type ``T`` and returns a safe (traced)

## `finalizer` is called. The `finalizer` may not keep a reference to the
## object pointed to by `x`. The `finalizer` cannot prevent the GC from
## freeing the object. Note: The `finalizer` refers to the type `T`, not to
## the object! This means that for each object of type `T` the finalizer
## will be called!
proc reset*[T](obj: var T) {.magic: "Reset", noSideEffect.}
## resets an object `obj` to its initial (binary zero) value. This needs to
## be called before any possible `object branch transition`:idx:.
# for low and high the return type T may not be correct, but
# we handle that with compiler magic in SemLowHigh()
proc high*[T](x: T): T {.magic: "High", noSideEffect.}
## returns the highest possible index of an array, a sequence, a string or
