Math

Scripting

• Added function scopes: A function can now hold related definitions in its own scope, similar to a module. The new assert.eq function, for instance, is part of the assert function's scope. Note that function scopes are currently only available for built-in functions.

• Exposed list, enum, and term list items in their respective functions' scope
• The at methods on strings, arrays, dictionaries, and content now support specifying a default value

• Better error messages when casting to an integer or float fails
