Yes so far mutant does a concrete syntax diff, but it should do an AST diff.

@tjchambers As you are talking about anaylsis of these reports, this is painful with the existing test reports. I'll open another enhancement ticket to finally opensource the implementation of a...

I call them: Semantically reducing operators. And Orthogonal operators. `#[]` to `#fetch` is an instance of "reduction operator". `#>` to `#

At the source code level there is no distinction being made. As I do not see a reason to do so. It _could_ be included in the report, but I...

The classes @tjchambers made up are more fine grained, but I think they all fit into `reduction` vs `orthogonal`.

@tjchambers Orthogonal operators are the ones where most equivalent mutations are coming from. But they are very helpful for example turning literals into others, example `true` to `false`.
