Wow, so this is possible.
Formatting is so damn arbitrary. Somebody has to have tried storing just the parse tree on disk, right?
-
The closest thing I've seen is Combobulate
-
If you do that, you lose formatting and comments every time you load the source from disk
-
Losing formatting other than what you've set in your deparser would be the point. Losing comments would be bad, but that seems easily fixable just by giving each comment block a symbol that points to it's contents.
-
Or by including comments in the parse tree. (& Yes, it is done various places for various languages and formats.)
-
Do you have some examples?
