* Tokens are now immutable. The progress of transformations is tracked on
chunks instead of tokens. Tokenizer output is cached and can be directly
returned without a need for cloning. Transforms are required to clone or
newly create tokens they are modifying.
* Expansions per chunk are now shared between equivalent frames via a cache
stored on the chunk itself. Equivalence of frames is not yet ideal though,
as right now a hash tree of *unexpanded* arguments is used. This should be
switched to a hash of the fully expanded local parameters instead.
* There is now a vastly improved maybeSyncReturn wrapper for async transforms
that either forwards processing to the iterative transformTokens if the
current transform is still ongoing, or manages a recursive transformation if
needed.
* Parameters for parser functions are now wrapped in abstract Params and
ParserValue objects, which support some handy on-demand *value* expansions.
Keys are always expanded. Parser functions are converted to use these
interfaces, and now properly expand their values in the correct frame.
Making this expansion lazier is certainly possible, but would complicate
transformTokens and other token-handling machinery. Need to investigate if
it would really be worth it. Dead branch elimination is certainly a bigger
win overall.
* Complex recursive asynchronous expansions should now be closer to correct
for both the iterative (transformTokens) and recursive (maybeSyncReturn
after transformTokens has returned) code paths.
* Performance degraded slightly. There are no micro-optimizations done yet
and the shared expansion cache still has a low hit rate. The progress
tracking on chunks is not yet perfect, so there are likely a lot of unneeded
re-expansions that can be easily eliminated. There is also more debug
tracing right now. Obama currently expands in 54 seconds on my laptop.

* All parser pipelines including tokenizer and DOM stuff are now constructed
from a 'recipe' data structure in a ParserPipelineFactory.
* All sub-pipelines of these can now be cached
* Event registrations to a pipeline are directly forwarded to the last
pipeline member to save relatively expensive event forwarding.
* Some APIs for on-demand expansion / format conversion of parameters from
parser functions are added:
param.to('tokens/expanded', cb)
param.to('text/wiki', cb) (this does not work yet)
All parameters are additionally wrapped into a Param object that provides
method for positional parameter naming (.named() or conversion to a dict
(.dict()).
* The async token transform manager is now separated from a frame object, with
the frame holding arguments, an on-demand expansion method and loop checks.
* Only keys of template parameters are now expanded. Parser functions or
template arguments trigger an expansion on-demand. This (unsurprisingly)
makes a big performance difference with typical switch-heavy template
systems.
* Return values from async transforms are no longer used in favor of plain
callbacks. This saves the complication of having to maintain two code paths.
A trick in transformTokens still avoids the construction of unneeded
TokenAccumulators.
* The results of template expansions are no longer buffered.
* 301 parser tests are passing
Known issues:
* Cosmetic cleanup remains to do
* Some parser functions do not support async expansions yet, and need to be
modified.

This is a bit better than cloning tokens wholesale, but not by much. There is
a lot of potential for much better per-token caching with reduced token
cloning. Need to map out all dependencies besides token attributes expanded
from template parameters or other scoped state. Even if tokens themselves
don't need transformation, they might still need to be considered for other
token transformers, so simply keeping the final rank won't quite work even if
the token itself is fully transformed. As a minimum, a shallow clone would
need to be made and the rank reset (as in env.cloneTokens).

* add past paths for empty arguments etc
* cache attribute token transform pipelines
* fix bugs in TokenCollector and NoIncludeOnly handler, and improve its
efficiency by only registering for 'end' tokens on demand
* Remove empty reset methods from a few handlers
* Add a simple 'ap' debug print function that makes it easy to only print some
debug prints by temporarily changing 'dp' to 'ap'
* Improvements and bug fixes in AttributeExpander

wgUploadPath configurable. Also change the hard-coded fall-back image sizes to
sensible defaults. This breaks three parser tests until image size retrieval
from the wiki is implemented.
only expand used branches selected by parser functions. Template (and
-argument) expansion is simply registered before general expansion.
Additionally, a few more simple time-based magic words are added in
ParserFunctions.
