The other "interim" fix would be to try to have more AST xforms run

generation later but running (some) xforms during a first phase and then
rolling back phases and proceeding normally. This isn't a general
solution but could cover some more cases.
My feeling is that this is going to be messy and error prone
I immediately had the same gut feeling: This sounds like it could be
confusing and frustrating for users, as well as a cumbersome to support
over time (because it can break easily).
The question then becomes: How could we achieve a more sweeping solution
that is less evolutionary in nature ? Maybe there are more companies
that would benefit from such an improvement, and would be willing to
participate in getting this done ?
Another related question that has been on my mind: If the Apache Groovy
community had already decided we wanted to get something done in
principle, and had decided on a way forward, would it be ok to help fund
this development on Patreon after the fact ?
