Deprecate `Ast_helper`

Open pitag-ha opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

The Ppxlib API is exposing the two modules Ast_builder and Ast_helper with same/similar functionality. We could deprecate Ast_helper to reduce the maintenance burden and to help the user decide which one to use.

Sneaking into here ^^.

Ast_helper usually brings more control over the creation of Ast nodes, for example attributes are always empty on Ast_builder. How would you see this in the future, should Ast_builder handle those cases or keep it as it is?
