End-of-project features

[EvanKirshenbaum]

While working on the DML users' manual (#303) and, in particular, trying to write a worked example, it became clear that there were some things that were going to be awkward to describe and that I might as well just fix to make them easier to use. Among these:

• Allowing (and possibly preferring) | in addition to : for injections.
• Showing sensor targets on the monitor screen (and having them update when the targets update).
  • Along with this, being able to ask a pad for the sensors that point at it.
• Adding w : require(4 drops of buffer) to simplify setting up wells.
  • Empties the well if the reagent is wrong.
  • Checks to see if there's already enough.
  • Transfers in what's needed if there isn't.
  • This means that the requirements can be put in the protocol itself, and you don't have to worry about re-running a protocol.
• Streamlining injections into functions that take a single argument by not requiring the parens.
  • In other words, allowing the last example to simply be w : require 4 drops of buffer.

Also need

• Better printing for functions and, especially curried values.
