Miscellaneous improvements

[oscbyspro]

I’m rather content with the state of the project, but there are a couple of things I’d like to improve, but that are not significant enough to warrant separate issues. So, instead, I’ll collect them here.

[oscbyspro]

Pattern where capacity == 0 (aka the useless pattern)

The hidden() method should hide all characters, rather than hiding none. It behaves like this because the reduction function looks for the first placeholder characters, does not find one, then stops at the end index (meaning that the effect is the same as the first placeholder being the end index, which is false). Solving this should also remove the need for special case selection on 100% formatting.

A solution has been introduced in 2be0c99

Apparently, I forgot to override Snapshot/distance(from:to:) so it’s still O(n).

---

Added in: d7dd5b5. If you look at Collection and BidirectionalCollection, you will find that a custom implementation of distance(from:to:) is enough to override both count and underestimatedCount, and that the isEmpty default is OK.

Lazy views improve readability

It’s easier to reason about the complexity of code when laziness is explicit. So I think it would be better if snapshot.nonvirtuals were instead snapshot.lazy.nonvirtuals(). With two extensions, you could write:

snapshot.nonvirtuals()
snapshot.lazy.nonvirtuals()

A follow up to this (and an actual improvement) would be adding a Proposal.Lazy:

proposal.merged().nonvirtuals()
proposal.lazy.merged().nonvirtuals() // this option does not yet exist

---

Added in: e4708c9. It removes an O(n) operation in both NumberTextStyle/resolve(_:) and PatternTextStyle/resolve(_:) because neither of them needed to actually merge the proposal for any other reason than to access Snapshot/nonvirtuals.

[oscbyspro]

I think that PatternTextStyle/resolve can use the same reduce function as format and interpret. At least it looked like it before Xcode 14.0 beta 5 decided to piviot its career to that of a pyromaniac. Anyways, it would be more performant and less code to maintain.

---

PatternTextStyle/resolve(_:with:) now uses the reduce method directly, ba6f11c.

[oscbyspro]

Fixed a bug in 5940f6b where localizable styles marked as equals(()) would not be localized on setup (input shadowed output). It’s not that note worthy, because the bug had not been introduced outside of beta.

[oscbyspro]

Removed Lock in cfa97c6 because it was made obsolete by #161

[oscbyspro]

Cleaned up debug messages in ac76804 as:

 [DiffableTextViews] [context]: [message]

[oscbyspro]

Fixed #161 suggestion + autocorrection + reentrance selection flash in cb8eb65.

[oscbyspro]

PatternTextStyle: made state public.
PatternTextStyle: added initializer parameters.
PatternTextPlaceholders: made ExpressibleByDictionaryLiteral.
