## Changes
If not explicitly quoted, the YAML loader interprets a value like
`2024-08-29` as a timestamp. Such a value is usually intended to be a
string instead. Our normalization logic was not able to turn a time
value back into the original string.
This change boxes the time value to include its original string
representation. Normalization of one of these values into a string can
now use the original input value.
## Tests
Unit tests in `libs/dyn/convert`.
## Changes
Before this change maps were stored as a regular Go map with string
keys. This didn't let us capture metadata (location information) for map
keys.
To address this, this change replaces the use of the regular Go map with
a dedicated type for a dynamic map. This type stores the `dyn.Value` for
both the key and the value. It uses a map to still allow O(1) lookups
and redirects those into a slice.
## Tests
* All existing unit tests pass (some with minor modifications due to
interface change).
* Equality assertions with `assert.Equal` no longer worked because the
new `dyn.Mapping` persists the order in which keys are set and is
therefore susceptible to map ordering issues. To fix this, I added a
`dynassert` package that forwards all assertions to `testify/assert` but
intercepts equality for `dyn.Value` arguments.
## Changes
The nil value is a real valid value that we need to represent. To
accommodate this we introduced `dyn.KindInvalid` as the zero-value for
`dyn.Kind` (see #904), but did not yet update the comments on
`dyn.NilValue` or add tests for `kind.go`.
This also moves `KindNil` to be last in the definition order (least
likely to care about it).
## Tests
Tests pass.
## Changes
The name "dynamic value", or "dyn" for short, is more descriptive than
the opaque "config". Also, it conveniently does not alias with other
packages in the repository, or (popular ones) elsewhere.
