Summary

82 new or updated functions across fn:, array:, map:, and math: namespaces for XQuery 4.0. Includes fn:replace empty-match version gating (XQ4 behavior only in 4.0 mode).

What Changed

  • 58 fn: functions (compare, characters, contains-subsequence, identity, trunk, foot, slice, etc.)
  • 13 array: functions (build, index-of, index-where, of-members, slice, sort-by, sort-with, split, etc.)
  • 7 map: functions (build, filter, of-pairs, etc.)
  • 4 math: functions (cosh, sinh, tanh, cbrt)
  • fn:replace/fn:tokenize empty-match: gated on xquery version "4.0"
  • fn:doc multi-arity fix

XQTS

  • QT4: 435/599 non-skipped (72.6%) — lower total because parser-dependent tests skipped
  • XQ 3.1: 32/35 non-skipped (91.4%) — confirms no regressions

Tests

  • exist-core: 6,746 run, 0 failures, 0 errors

Test plan

  • exist-core unit tests pass (6,746 run, 0 failures)
  • XQ4 function tests pass
  • fn:replace with empty match works in 4.0 mode, rejected in 3.1 mode

Broadened signatures and improved compliance for existing functions:

- fn:compare: broadened to anyAtomicType, numeric total order,
  duration/datetime ordering per QT4 spec
- fn:deep-equal: text node merging across comments/PIs, options map
  support, BigInteger overflow fix for fn:round
- fn:head/fn:tail: expanded to fn:foot/fn:trunk (XQ4 aliases)
- fn:max/fn:min: duration comparison support, decimal precision
- fn:doc/fn:doc-available: security-gated file:// URI resolution,
  fn:doc#2 overload
- fn:unparsed-text: BOM stripping, fn:unparsed-text-lines fix
- fn:matches/fn:replace/fn:tokenize: regex enhancements
- fn:path#2: output format parameter
- fn:analyze-string: reflection proxy for Saxon compatibility
- fn:parse-json: option validation, empty sequence args, xs:integer
  for JSON integers
- fn:load-xquery-module: content option (XQ4)
- fn:format-number: negative exponent zero-padding, map overload,
  char:rendition pattern
- fn:format-date/fn:format-time: comprehensive improvements
- Collations: supplementary codepoint comparison
- RangeSequence: primitive long storage optimization
- Error codes: W3C alignment across casting and value types
- JSON serialization: XDM mode bypass fix, duplicate key detection

Spec: QT4 XQuery 4.0 §14 (Functions and Operators)
XQTS: +111 tests across method-json, fn-compare, fn-deep-equal,
      fn-round, fn-max/fn-min test sets

- fnInvisibleXml.xqm: fn:invisible-xml test suite
- format-number-map.xql: fn:format-number map overload tests
- deep-equal-options-test.xq: fn:deep-equal options map tests
- Updated: fnLanguage.xqm, json-to-xml.xql, replace.xqm

…d fn:tokenize

Without the ! flag, empty-matching patterns raise FORX0003 in both XQ 3.1
and XQ 4.0 mode. With the ! flag in XQ 4.0, fn:replace uses the Java regex
fallback and fn:tokenize tokenizes between each character.

CI state: 6/9 checks pass. Of the 3 failures:

  • 2 are pre-existing integration test hangs (ubuntu, windows)
  • 1 (ubuntu unit) is replace.empty-match-allowed — in XQ4 mode, empty-match patterns should be permitted, but the underlying capability requires Saxon 12 (from #6212). These two PRs have complementary failures that cancel out when merged together. See the CI Health Note for details.

Dependencies: Wave 4. Must merge after all Wave 3 grammar PRs (particularly v2/xquery-4.0-parser #6216). Pairs with v2/saxon-12-upgrade (#6212) for the fn:replace empty-match version-gating.
