* Use pointers instead of copying around ast.Node Node is a 56B struct that is constantly in the hot path. Passing nodes around by copy had a cost that started to add up. This change replaces them by pointers. Using unsafe pointer arithmetic and converting sibling/child indexes to relative offsets, it removes the need to carry around a pointer to the root of the tree. This saves 8B per Node. This space will be used to store an extra []byte slice to provide contextual error handling on all nodes, including the ones whose data is different than the raw input (for example: strings with escaped characters), while staying under the size of a cache line. * Remove conditional * Add Raw to track range in data for parsed values * Simplify reference tracking
