This sets up better toString implementations to give more meaningful test expectations and AST printing results.

This is by no means systematic and complete. Most notably almost all type representations are still missing, and some less frequent Exprs, but it should get us started.

The strategy is to make toString as close as possible to the rust syntax, but

  • skipping things like attributes altogether
  • replacing "complex" subnodes with ...

What is considered a "simple" subnode (causing it to be part of the parent toString) can be tweaked by implementing toAbbreviatedString(), which returns ... by default. Currently simple subnodes are:

  • literal expressions and patterns
  • _ expressions and patterns
  • path expressions and patterns (i.e. name references)

This means for example that

  • a call with an identifier target will have that identifier in its toString (i.e. source(...))
  • same goes for operations (i.e. x + ....) or statements (if cond {...})

I now thought we might want to trim long literals here

I'm probably not the right person to review the extractor changes right now but I will say this: these look good, much better than before.

Thanks a lot for taking on this task! My main concern is that ideally toString should not be recursive, since (a) it takes longer to evaluate, (b) the DIL becomes more complex, and (c) it prevents magic sets optimizations.

May as well use strictconcat.

We should avoid, if possible, to make toString recursive. Could we instead have a predicate, getName, on TypeRef?

private string toStringPart(int index) {
index = 0 and result = "continue"
or
index = 1 and result = this.getLifetime().toString()

Again, better if we can avoid recursion.

Great work on making toString non-recursive, thanks!
