Explore way Rector or another tool can process blade templates

[TomasVotruba]

This is one of pain points when using Rector with Laravel. It works well on PHP code, but fails on Blade.

Often Blade uses simle structures like PHP functions calls, that ought to be refactored.

Brainstorm ideas:

• have a separate command for blade templates
• it would run Rector in a simple way, parsing only code inside {{ ... }}, and @php tags
• it would not reprint the whole file, but a just these snippets using str_replace

Is there a way to help out with this? I'm currently running into this missing feature of Rector

I made a WIP few weeks ago, but it needs more work ↓

Here it is :) https://github.com/rectorphp/rector-src/pull/6136

Not a priority atm
