change terminology of static and (un)bounded dynamic arrays #597

@dirk-thomas

Description

@dirk-thomas

When we wrote the design article about interface definitions we needed to distinguish three different kind of arrays and came up with these terms:

  • "static array": arrays with a static size
  • "dynamic unbounded arrays": arrays with a dynamic size and no upper boundary
  • "dynamic bounded arrays": arrays with a dynamic size and an upper boundary

In preparation of the migration to IDL we should change our terminology to match the specification.

  • array equates to "static array" from above
  • (unbounded) sequence equates to "dynamic unbounded arrays" from above
  • bounded sequence equates to "dynamic bounded arrays" from above

This ticket will serve as a meta ticket for PRs renaming types, functions, variables, files, etc.
