This type was a small performance win for `html5ever`, which uses a
macro with hundreds of very simple rules that don't contain any
metavariables. But this type is complicated (extra lifetimes) and
perf-neutral for macros that do have metavariables.
This commit removes `MatcherPosHandle`, simplifying things a lot. This
increases the allocation rate for `html5ever` and similar cases a bit,
but makes things easier for follow-up changes that will improve
performance more than what we lost here.
It currently has no state, just the three methods `parse_tt`,
`parse_tt_inner`, and `bb_items_ambiguity_error`.
This commit is large but trivial, and mostly consists of changes to the
indentation of those methods. Subsequent commits will do more.
The current structure makes it hard to tell that there are just four
distinct code paths, depending on how many items there are in `bb_items`
and `next_items`. This commit introduces a `match` that clarifies
things.
There are three `Option` fields in `MatcherPos` that are only used in
tandem. This commit combines them, making the code slightly easier to
read. (It also makes clear that the `sep` field arguably should have
been `Option<Option<Token>>`!)
To avoid the strange style where comments force `else` onto its own
line.
The commit also removes several else-after-return constructs, which can
be hard to read.
Currently, we only point at the span of the macro argument. When the
macro call is itself generated by another macro, this can make it
difficult or impossible to determine which macro is responsible for
producing the error.
