feat: text object subsets (move/select/delete)

[brycepg]

I'd like to be able to (move/select/delete) the parent node without (m/s/d)ing the contents - for changing code quickly

Describe the solution you'd like Example:

"@function.outer _ @function.inner"

Would select the function declaration without its body

Alternatives Here's some code I've written which deletes the function while preserving the contents (and deindenting them)

function delete_function_declaration_lines()
    funcrowStart, funccolStart, funcrowEnd, funccolEnd = function_range_surrounding_cursor()
    bodyrowStart, bodycolStart, bodyrowEnd, bodycolEnd = function_body_range_surrounding_cursor()
    functionStartDelta = bodyrowStart - funcrowStart
    functionEndDelta = funcrowEnd - bodyrowEnd
    -- print("functionEndDelta: " .. tostring(functionEndDelta))
    if funcrowStart == bodyrowStart then
        print("WARN: function start and body start are on the same line. Unable to do interpolation")
        return nil
    end
    if funcrowEnd == bodyrowEnd then
        -- Then go into column mode
        -- vim.api.nvim_buf_set_text(buf, startLine - 1, startColumn - 1, endLine, endColumn, lines)
        -- XXX probably can handle brace syntax here
        print("WARN: function end and body end are on the same line. Unable to do interpolation")
        return nil
    end
    -- Delete the end first to preverse the line numbers
    vim.api.nvim_buf_set_lines(0, bodyrowEnd+1, bodyrowEnd+functionEndDelta+1, false, {})
    -- Deindent - convert from index to line number
    deindent_lines(bodyrowStart+1, bodyrowEnd+1)
    -- delete the beginning second
    vim.api.nvim_buf_set_lines(0, funcrowStart, funcrowStart+functionStartDelta, false, {})
end
