This commit adds lifetimes to the diff and realdom methods so consumers may borrow the contents of the DOM for serialization or asynchronous modifications.
This commit solves the memoization , properly memoizing properties that don't have any generic parameters. This is a rough heuristic to prevent non-static lifetimes from creeping into props and breaking our minual lifetime management.
Props that have a generic parameter are opted-out of the `partialeq` requirement and props *without* lifetimes must implement partialeq. We're going to leave manual disabling of memoization for future work.
Currently working through the normalization process. Occasionally, we want to iterate through all the nodes that we know have a real image in the dom. However, fragments and components don't directly have a mirror in the dom. This commit is exploring the concept of a custom iterator that explores every node in an array of nodes, returning only valid nodes which may be mounted to the dom. A big issue we're working through is heavily nested rootless nodes - something not terribly common but important nonetheless.
Inferno, React, and Preact all perform a mutative-form of normalization which alter the children list before comparing to the previous. Mostly, we're concerned about fragments in lists and heavily nested components that do not render real elements.
This commit starts the process of merging scope arena
with the diff machine to give the diffing algorithm mutable
access to components. React and Preact mutate the dom
as they diff it which makes their implementations simpler
and cleaner. The goal here is to give access of scopes to
the diffing machine which can mutate the underyling
representation during diffing.
