This plugin contains utility functions to be used in conjunction with 
msgpackdump() and msgpackparse() functions.

FUNCTION ARGUMENTS				msgpack.vim-arguments

Disambiguation of arguments described below.  Note: if e.g. function is listed 
as accepting {msgpack-integer} (or anything else) it means that function 
does not check whether argument matches its description.

{msgpack-value}  	Either msgpack-special-dict or a regular value, but 
			not function reference.
{msgpack-integer}  	Any value for which msgpack#type() will return 
			"integer".
{msgpack-special-int}  	msgpack-special-dict representing integer.

msgpack#is_int({msgpack-value})				msgpack#is_int()
	Returns 1 if given {msgpack-value} is integer value, 0 otherwise.

msgpack#is_uint({msgpack-value})			msgpack#is_uint()
	Returns 1 if given {msgpack-value} is integer value greater or equal 
	to zero, 0 otherwise.

							msgpack#strftime
msgpack#strftime({format}, {msgpack-integer})		msgpack#strftime()
	Same as strftime(), but second argument may be 
	msgpack-special-dict.  Requires Python to really work with
	msgpack-special-dicts.

							msgpack#strptime
msgpack#strptime({format}, {time})			msgpack#strptime()
	Reverse of msgpack#strftime(): for any time and format 
	msgpack#equal( msgpack#strptime(format, msgpack#strftime(format, 
	time)), time) be true.  Requires |Python, without it only supports
	non-msgpack-special-dict nonnegative times and format equal to
	%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.

msgpack#int_dict_to_str({msgpack-special-int})	msgpack#int_dict_to_str()
	Function which converts msgpack-special-dict integer value to 
	a hexadecimal value like 0x1234567890ABCDEF (always returns exactly 16 
	hexadecimal digits).

msgpack#special_type({msgpack-value})		msgpack#special_type()
	Returns zero if {msgpack-value} is not msgpack-special-dict.  If it 
	is it returns name of the key in v:msgpack_types which represents 
	{msgpack-value} type.

msgpack#type({msgpack-value})				msgpack#type()
	Returns name of the key in v:msgpack_types that represents 
	{msgpack-value} type.  Never returns zero: this function returns 
	msgpack type which will be dumped by msgpackdump() should it receive 
	a list with single {msgpack-value} as input.

msgpack#deepcopy({msgpack-value})			msgpack#deepcopy()
	Like deepcopy(), but works correctly with msgpack-special-dict 
	values.  Plain deepcopy() will destroy all types in 
	msgpack-special-dict values because it will copy _TYPE key values, 
	while they should be preserved.

msgpack#string({msgpack-value})				msgpack#string()
	Like string(), but saves information about msgpack types.  Values 
	dumped by msgpack#string may be read back by msgpack#eval().  
	Returns is the following:

	- Dictionaries are dumped as "{key1: value1, key2: value2}". Note: 
	  msgpack allows any values in keys, so with some 
	  msgpack-special-dict values msgpack#string() may produce even 
	  "{{1: 2}: 3, [4]: 5}".
	- Lists are dumped as "[value1, value2]".
	- Strings are dumped as
	  1. "abc": binary string.
	  2. ="abc": string.
	  3. +(10)"ext": extension strings (10 may be replaced with any 
	     8-bit signed integer).
	  Inside strings the following escape sequences may be present: "\0" 
	  (represents NUL byte), "\n" (represents line feed) and "\"" 
	  (represents double quote).
	- Floating-point and integer values are dumped using string() or 
	  msgpack#int_dict_to_str().
	- Booleans are dumped as "TRUE" or "FALSE".
	- Nil values are dumped as "NIL".

msgpack#eval({string}, {dict})				msgpack#eval()
	Transforms string created by msgpack#string() into a value suitable 
	for msgpackdump().  Second argument allows adding special values 
	that start with head characters (/\h) and contain only word 
	characters (/\w).  Built-in special values are "TRUE", "FALSE", 
	"NIL", "nan" and "inf" and they cannot be overridden.  Map values are 
	always evaluated to msgpack-special-dict values, as well as 
	hexadecimal digits.  When evaluating maps order of keys is preserved.

	Note that in addition to regular integer representations that may be 
	obtained using msgpack#string() msgpack#eval() also supports C-style 
	“character” integer constants like '/' (equivalent to 
	char2nr('/'): 47). This also allows '\0' (number is decimal).

							msgpack#equal
msgpack#equal({msgpack-value}, {msgpack-value})		msgpack#equal()
	Returns 1 if given values are equal, 0 otherwise.  When comparing 
	msgpack map values order of keys is ignored.  Comparing 
	msgpack-special-dict with equivalent non-special-dict value 
	evaluates to 1.
