This might be better understood by looking at the 3 commits individually (otherwise it's a big diff).
First commit gets us out of passing down the original
String
value all the way through for the purposes of diagnostics.Second commit untangles all diagnostic code from the low-level scanner/lexer style code, while keeping the behavior and basic code structure unchanged. This shows us the basic patterns that we could surface as API on our Span-like types and should spark some interesting designs and discussions.
Third commit just migrates over to
UTF8Span
, albeit via aguard #available else { fatalError() }
pattern. Not sure if that's the way we want to go.Note that I haven't tested this fully yet.
