[@glimmer/syntax] Partial support

[AndrewLeedham]

I noticed an error is thrown if a partial is found in a HBS file when parsing it with @glimmer/syntax. I can't find any documentation as to why it is not supported. Is this something that may come in the future, or is there a technical reason Partials aren't supported?

It’s deprecated feature https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/blob/master/text/0449-deprecate-partials.md

Thanks @lifeart. For context I am trying to figure out a way of adding partial support to https://github.com/danakt/handlebars-to-jsx which currently uses @glimmer/syntax to create an AST.

How partials will look like in jsx output?
Easy way - replace {{partial..}} before transform to {{jsx-partial..}} and align final output

@lifeart I suspect that @AndrewLeedham is referring to the handlebars partial syntax, not Ember's {{partial.

@AndrewLeedham - In general, @glimmer/syntax is specifically supporting Ember's style of Handlebars and as such we specifically error for syntax in Handlebars that Ember doesn't support.

@rwjblue You are correct I am looking for both {{> and {{#> partial support. Seems like @glimmer/syntax isn't the right tool for the job. Thanks for your help 👍
