Description
The mutation is located and reported using source references. They are attached to braces and so are not very precise to locate the line and column of a mutation in a block of more than one line.
Some ideas:
- use the parse data (
getParseData) instead of the source references - build more precise source references, using imputesrcref
- do not use the R parser at all but
tree-sitter(faster also probably)
