This is missing two key things that I'll add shortly: a HashMap-based one
for use in the ASG for node mapping, and an entry-based system for
manipulations.
This has been a nice start for exploring various aspects of Rust
development, as well as conventions that I'd like to implement. In
particular:
- Robust documentation intended to guide people through learning the
necessary material about the compiler, as well as related work to
rationalize design decisions;
- Benchmarks;
- TDD;
- And just getting used to Rust in general.
I've beat this one to death, so I'll commit this and make smaller changes
going forward to show how easily it can evolve.
(This module was originally named `intern` but this commit and those that
follow rewrote it to `sym`.)
This makes use of Petgraph for representing the dependency graph and uses a
separate data structure for both string interning and indexing by symbol
name.
