Summary:
The primary problem this solves is to expose the codeAction selection to
AST-based refactorings in a way that makes it easy and efficient for them to
bind to the right parts of the AST.
It should also allow us to make XRefs based features (textDocument/definition)
more robust, more easily implement textDocument/typeDefinition etc.
As an example, template parameter references can be identified without special
handling.
There should be slight speedup too: we can prune most of the AST traversal
in most cases.
Elephant in the room: this is similar-but-different to Tooling/Refactoring/ASTSelection.
That captures a smaller set of AST nodes, has a slightly different way of
representing selections, and generally has mare features and does more work.
The overall shape is pretty similar, and yet I can't quite get to behave as I
expect.
