Subject: generating code from AST
From: adambaratz@php.net (Adam Baratz)

--94eb2c05ae0a5a337c054a16b2c2
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

I'm exploring how to automate some basic kinds of refactor operations. One
approach I'm considering:

   - Generate an AST
   - Rearrange it as needed
   - Turn it back into userland code

Is this something anyone's explored?

Thanks,
Adam
