return list of edits rather than full string

[shaunlebron]

could help the speed of the ports by removing the time spent on string allocation/manipulation?

Colin is working on this one I believe

This new edits result can be used in addition to the text result, which may be able to be derived from edits only when some returnFullText option is enabled

Some emacs plugins will attach stlyles to text in the editor(they called overlay). These overlay will disappear when the text get deleted.

For example, in emacs cider-mode(clojure plugin), type C-u C-c C-c, you will evaluate current top level defn, let it break for debugging when called. And cider will add a red box to the function name to indicate this function is debugging. when you delete the defn(delete the text), the redbox will be deleted too(no text to attach).

so when parinfer returns full text, you have to delete all text at first, so you lose all the overlay in these buffer.

what causes the overlay to refresh?

colin went with changed lines instead: https://talk.parinfer.io/t/cursive-parinfer-implementation-now-returns-changed-lines/22

[DogLooksGood]

the refresh stratedy is depend on the plugin. there's no way to let them do refresh. changed lines can fix this problem.
