This doesn't handle all uses of key and value.

Missing still are assignment statements (name, value),
function signatures (name, value), and possibly other
places (perhaps type declarations?).

It does handle all existing uses of key, value, and name,
though, so we can start here.

The handling of multiple return values is complicated,
particularly around the handling of comments and removal ranges.
It would be nice to find a simpler approach.

I haven't added any tests yet. Before I did that, I wanted to get a round of feedback about the behavior, so that I don't waste time adding tests with the wrong behavior.

There are a lot of tests to add.

To make it easier to get initial feedback I have included two videos of the scope visualizer. They go by fast but you can pause as needed. :)

A lot of the same considerations about comments, only-one vs many (and for many, first-vs-rest), removal ranges, etc. apply to the other uses of name and value, so it'd be good to get happy with the behavior and implementation before I continue with those.

(A surprising amount of development time is packed into not very many lines with .scm files. :P)

Looking pretty good! One thing we're doing in other places is to have a scope that is the parent of the other scopes, whose domain is the entire statement and whose range is from the first return value to the last. See eg the name scope in .scm, and the comment proposing that behaviour #1631 (comment). Note that we only have that parent scope when there is more than one return value, otherwise you get useless nesting

Also, it's tough to tell what your iteration scopes are actually doing, but I think we'd want one iteration scope for iterating the values of one return statement when it has more than one return value, and a bigger iteration scope consisting of the function body

Solid direction; left a bunch of minor inline comments, and see also my responses to your videos above 👍

Does the conversion to string not happen automatically?

what does this .omit do? Is this some hypothetical capture modifier you'd like to support in the future?

Wow this really feels like a slippery slope 😅. Getting to the point where I wonder if we want to create our own mini-language

is this a bug? I might argue the comment is part of "lorem", tho as mentioned above, I'd lean towards being conservative about deleting people's comments

interesting to put predicate right after the capture itself

the _ prefix is your convention for things that are just dummy captures used for predicates? We've been using dummy, but I kinda like this _ prefix convention. wdyt @AndreasArvidsson

it's a bit annoying we need to use negative specifier here rather than specifying the type itself, but I'm assuming the individual expressions have no wrapper nodes of uniform type, so I'm not sure what else we can do 🤷‍♂️

would be nice to have a comment explaining why you need to handle first / rest separately

I have mixed feelings about defining a scope’s pattern and its iteration scope’s pattern in one go. I think it's often clearer to define them separately. You could arguably define collectionKey.iteration and @value.iteration in one pattern. I think that might be clearer

That being said, it's more of a rule of thumb than a hard rule; if you feel defining collectionKey and collectionKey.iteration in the same pattern is clearer in this case, I don't have a strong objection

There is a slight performance implication as well fwiw, because this pattern matches once per collectionKey scope instance, and thus will yield the iteration scope once per scope instance, and then we silently merge them later. Defining the pattern separately will only yield the iteration scope once

I need to take another pass over this, marking as draft in the interim.

Sounds good, thanks. I'm eyeball deep in other stuff, so I don't anticipate much cursorless bandwidth for a fair while.
