If you change `racket-bitsyntax` to use `typed/racket/base/no-check`
for its `bitstring.rkt` module, this runs about 15x faster than the
`syndicate` version of the stack. Otherwise, it runs about 3x faster
than the `syndicate` version of the stack.
It's also nicely fast compared to the old-Syndicate version :-)
There are still some problems with parameters in cross-ds relaying;
the symptom is #f for (current-facet) at some point, leading to some
sprites that don't get retracted (!).
The `add-endpoint!` call is changed in two ways:
- the old `assertion-fn` has become `update-fn`, yielding both
an assertion *and* an optional handler, because if the handler
depends on a field which changes, previously the handler wasn't
being updated
- a new parameter, `dynamic?`, can be set to #f (it's usually #t)
to ensure that the assertion and skeleton-interest are calculated
only once ever, and are not connected to the dataflow machinery.
The first change makes it possible for the `(later-than (deadline))`
pattern, where `deadline` is a field, to work; the second change makes
`during` and `during/spawn` work correctly in the face of field
updates.
