This has is a nice-to-have for me. Frequently I want to run a specific
test, and end up digging through output to be able to copy-paste the run
line. This uses TIP lines to inject the command into the file when using
AUTOUPDATE.
Note, one of the reasons I want this is because "bazel test
//toolchain/testing:file_test --test_output=all" has been regularly
exceeding bazel's output limit for me (workaround is either opening the
output file or specifying an obscure output limit flag), making it a
little harder for me to get the commands. However, frequently I'm adding
a file and want to iterate on it, so that's really the use case I have
in mind here.
This leaves a single state for each in the expr loop. I was trying to
think through ways to have per-token states, but they felt sort of
bulky.
Note this is more verbose: but I think the long-term is going to be that
when we start wanting to add handlers, we're going to need to switch to
different names based on the token found. As a consequence, the parse
state logic will end up diverging a little, and we'll just want to align
towards boilerplate handlers.
Short-term, this opens up a path for saying that each parse node
corresponds to precisely one token in success states, and separates out
what were becoming big handler functions in check.
