— forbid leads and lags
— forbid expectation operators
This is implemented by moving the occbin_constraints expression to a separate
DataTree. As a side-effect, this removes the spurious non-linearity warning in
a stochastic context (because we were introducing inequalities and abs()
operators in the main DynamicModel tree).
In particular, this implies that steady state values of endogenous in the
“occbin_constraints” block must now be specified using the STEADY_STATE()
operator (and not with a “_ss” suffix).
Moreover:
– make various simplifications to the fields generated under M_
– in the driver file, replace the call to occbin.initialize() by a few explicit operations
Ref. #68
Consequently drop “occbin” option to “model”.
Incidentally, allow more values in equation tag names (previously some keywords
such as “alpha” were disallowed).
Ref. #68
For the time being, the preprocessor will refuse that this option be used with
any command other than estimation.
By the way, remove occbin_likelihood and occbin_smoother options to estimation.

– New “squeeze_shock_decomposition” command
— New “max_nrows” option to “plot_shock_decomposition” and
“initial_condition_decomposition”
— “plot_shock_decomposition” now returns oo_ as an output argument
Ref. dynare#1687, dynare!1655
— Raise the default tolerance for cross-derivatives to 1e-6, to reduce the
number of false positives
— New option “balanced_growth_test_tol” to the “model” block for changing that
tolerance
— Turn back test failures into errors. Since there is now an option for
controlling the tolerance, the user always has the possibility of making the
test pass.

The idea is to make use of the dynamic_set_auxiliary_dseries.m file to generate
the initial conditions for all auxiliary variables, including the diffs.
Also remove the check done by the preprocessor for the lags in histval, since
it does not work correctly with the diff operator.
In particular, it is necessary to turn back DataTree::AddVariable() into a
non-virtual method, because it is called from DataTree's constructor. Enforcing
the absence of leads/lags is now done using a new boolean DataTree::is_static.
Take advantage of the new copy constructor for handling
PlannerObjectiveStatement more elegantly.
Unfortunately it is not possible to implement *move* constructor / assigment
operators, because the reference ExprNode::datatree is not mutable.
