Shallowify the parse table

Description

Cached expressions don't need to be transformed with transformers in parse_transform_serialize_r_block(), we simply return text for the top-level token.

Usage

shallowify(pd)

Details

Expressions that are cached are already styled correctly. We can make the parse table shallow at these locations, fully relying on the text column:

  • remove all children, as they are not needed anymore.

  • mark the expression as a terminal.

Top-level comments

Note that we do not cache top-level comments. Because package code has a lot of roxygen comments and each of them is a top-level expression, checking is very expensive. More expensive than styling, because comments are always terminals. This will also yield large speed improvements in compute_parse_data_nested() because nesting is expensive and will not be done for cached expressions.

Implementation

Because the structure of the parse table is not always "top-level expression first, then children", this function creates a temporary parse table that has this property and then extract the ids and subset the original parse table so it is shallow in the right places.
