[handly-dev] lazy handling of ISourceFiles

[Vlad Dumitrescu <vladdu55@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

If the source files are large and if the language allows to easily identify top level constructs that can be parsed individually, it would be meaningful and useful to not parse the whole file at once, but do it lazily when needed, just like for projects and folders.

Handly doesn't currently allow that and it wouldn't be easy to make it work (the parsing is relatively doable, but I don't think the reconciling and working copy stuff will play nice with such a change). My question is whether you think it is worth investigating further.

best regards,

Vlad
