;;; Commentary:
;;
;; In Semantic 1.x, changes were handled in a simplistic manner, where
;; tags that changed were reparsed one at a time.  Any other form of
;; edit were managed through a full reparse.
;;
;; This code attempts to minimize the number of times a full reparse
;; needs to occur.  While overlays and tags will continue to be
;; recycled in the simple case, new cases where tags are inserted
;; or old tags removed  from the original list are handled.
;;

;;; NOTES FOR IMPROVEMENT
;;
;; Work done by the incremental parser could be improved by the
;; following:
;;
;; 1. Tags created could have as a property an overlay marking a region
;;    of themselves that can be edited w/out affecting the definition of
;;    that tag.
;;
;; 2. Tags w/ positioned children could have a property of an
;;    overlay marking the region in themselves that contain the
;;    children.  This could be used to better improve splicing near
;;    the beginning and end of the child lists.
;;

;;; BUGS IN INCREMENTAL PARSER
;;
;; 1. Changes in the whitespace between tags could extend a
;;    following tag.  These will be marked as merely unmatched
;;    syntax instead.
;;
;; 2. Incremental parsing while a new function is being typed in
;;    sometimes gets a chance only when lists are incomplete,
;;    preventing correct context identification.
