Details
The current Compile* APIs are not very friendly for things like off-thread parse or XDR operations. I'd like to restructure them into a clearer CompileRequest / BytecodeResponse (names as an example only) form.
CompileOptions currently mixes the three concerns of source data, bytecode generation flags, and debugger metadata. I believe these should be broken down into different structs.
One desired outcome is to support off-thread parsing of UTF-8 data and BinAST inputs without the need to keep cloning current APIs and ParseTasks for every combination.
Another desired outcome is to have a clearer record of what source information and options was used to generate a given XDR blob to make cacheing code less scary.

This effort was made obsolete by stencil efforts.
