This is a draft. There's a LOT of hard design choices which are not yet completely settled here. Corresponding updates to the ipld/specs repo will be coming soon: these implementations match a very recursive concept of selectors. (https://github.com/ipld/specs/pull/116 is roughly this.) There's so many things to go over, here. - selectors at all - selectFields is kind of a special case of unions - selectPath as a concept is gone; is a degenerate case of selectFields - we've added some new methods to help narrow down search spaces - we have serial selector spec parsers...! (very hand-rolled.) - the idea of always reporting candidates vs definite match parents is dropped for now; it requires a different algo with different performance characteristics, so, we'll do it as such -- later. - we ended up with unions being *in*! They're going to be used internally by a bunch of other things -- see comment blocks in the code about that (tl;dr recursives imply a need of unions). More docs will be coming in future commits; this is just a checkpoint of the progress. Signed-off-by: Eric Myhre <hash@exultant.us>
