This has bee designed and written by the amazing Bartosz Leper
(@bl-nero). Since I totally suck at Git and find myself incompetent to
resolve merge conflicts, I’ve decided to manually copy Bartosz’s
changes mostly verbatim over, tweaking them only ever so slightly in
ways that don’t alter their functionality, except for introducing a
tiny test so current Safari still loads Snap, albeit not in retina
mode. THIS IT NOT READY FOR RELEASE YET, IT’S WORK IN PROGRESS. Get it?
Thanks!

REPORT now reports to the nearest lexical element expecting an input
(which may not be the block holding the REPORT statement, this lets you
REPORT out of nested FOR loops).
STOP THIS BLOCK behaves as it used to.
If you’ve been using REPORT instead of STOP THIS BLOCK, you should
migrate.
prevents an occasional DOM error saying "an attempt was made to use an
object that is not, or is no longer, usable" when loading a project
that has costumes
Primitive blocks in the palette can now be hidden in the project via
their context menu. Each palette's context menu further lets you hide
or show all its primitives depending on whether any primitives are left
to hide or show.
Hidden primitives are stored in the project data. This lets instructors
create "simplified" examples and problem sets.
