    fit_to_view: cope with undef children

    The child summary logic inadvertently assumed that data structure
    members were defined. This commit (and test) corrects that oversight.

    Adding Test2::Plugin::NoWarnings as well, since the test output is
    verbose enough that there's a risk of missing warnings.

    Fix outdated comments and documentation

    These were leftovers from when `fit_to_view` might return a data
    structure if it was small enough. Since the removal of Devel::Size in
    f03d4e1d02, `fit_to_view` unconditionally summarizes.

    Remove Devel::Size.

    Some profiling indicated that it was by far the most expensive part
    of Devel::Optic. With it enabled, throughput on a "hello world"
    Mojolicious app dropped to about 50% of normal. Without it, overhead
    was small enough to be nearly unmeasureable.

    This has the downside that Devel::Optic now _always_ summarizes.

    A better conceptual approach would be to write a custom serializer:
    start traversing the data structure and adding to the serialized
    representation. When that representation becomes too big, stop and
    send it. That would get maximum information for minimum size.
    However, the current strategy (always do a basic one-level summary)
    is much simpler to implement, so we'll start with this and await some
    feedback.

    fit_to_view: fix sample count > data structure size

    Summaries of hashes were not respecting the number of keys in the
    hash, so if you had a sample key count of 10, and a hash like { a =>
    1 }, Devel::Optic was going to misbehave.

    Rename ref_key_sample_count -> sample_count along the way.

    Perlish parser (#2)

    * Prototype: Perl-ish syntax for accessing vars in scope

    This is potentially a really terrible idea, but it was fun to work on
    the parser. Basically: JSON::Pointer syntax is probably a little too
    simple -- Sawyer had good feedback on not just guessing whether
    something is a hash or array access. So he wrote a nice, compact
    lexer and parser to support quoted strings and spit out tokens with
    types.

    This commit takes that general idea, and goes a little nuts: the
    parser now produces an AST describing a Perl-like syntax for
    dereferencing and accessing Perl data structures. It supports simple
    cases, like '$my_cool_hashref', but also fancy ones, like
    '$my_cool_hashref->{$some_arrayref->[-1]->{nested_hashkey}->{$some_sc
    alar}}';

    It does not use Perl 'eval'; indeed, it violates normal Perl syntax
    rules in several ways. For example, indexing into a data structure
    _always_ uses '->', even if it isn't a ref, e.g.
    '%my_cool_hash->{foo}'. As a result, this might be uncanny valley
    territory.

    TODO: tests, the interpreter, reviewing whether this is remotely a
    reasonable thing to do.

    * parser: export 'lex', 'parse', and ':constants'

    ':constants' will be used for testing, as well as interpreting the op
    tree

    * parser: these syntax names are never used

    * lexer: die on empty or obviously bogus spec

    Everything will always need to start with a Perl symbol name.

    * parser: split hash/array parsing into subs

    I think this makes it a bit easier to follow the flow.

    * parser: be stricter about symbol names

    Catch some obvious typos that will never be valid symbol names (like
    '$fo o').

    * parser: better error messages for Perl syntax

    This is probably a signal that this langauge should conform more
    closely to real Perl syntax, but I'm not ready to invest in doing
    that just yet.

    * lexer/parser: require strings to be quoted

    This allows the parser to be more informative about bad input.
    Legitmate use of single quotes in hash key literals can be managed
    via backslash escapes.

    * parser: flesh out test cases

    Along the way the lexer was changed to return a list instead of an
    arrayref. This has better symmetry with the input format for 'parse',
    which is a list of tokens.

    * parser: tests for invalid parses

    * parser: make it an object

    This makes it easier to introduce a 'parser' argument to Devel::Optic
    which is any object which ->can("parse").

    * parser: cosmetic reorganization

    * interpreter: naive recursive interpreter

    This commit introduces a basic recursive interpreter for the AST spat
    out by the parser. With this, the basic functionality of Devel::Optic
    is back in place, now with a much higher power language for data
    access.

    Ideally I'd like to change this and the parser to be non-recursive to
    reduce the number of sub calls -- the interpeter code, at least,
    might be running inside very hot parts of a system -- but I couldn't
    quite picture how to do this with explicit stacks, and I wanted to
    get something functioning to start with. Make it work, make it right,
    make it fast, yada yada yada.

    TODO: adapt tests, adapt main functions to use this, more human
    readable error messages, performance measurements and optimizations.

    The error messages are going to be quite a challenge -- the simple
    (and non-nested) JSON::Pointer syntax made it easy to tell users
    exactly where we were when things went pear shaped, so we could give
    very useful feedback to guide iteration. That's a bit trickier with
    recursive tree traversal.

    * tests: move 'parser' earlier than 'full_picture'

    full_picture uses the parser in order to work, so it should come
    later in the sequence.

    * sweeping code reorganization

    stuff interpreter/parser inside a 'lens' (maybe the name wasn't so
    bad?), which is self-contained as to what language it expects and how
    it gets data out of Perl

    update docs to reflect new syntax

    some tests are commented out because introducing a full-blown mini
    language for apertures has a lot of benefits, but simplicity of
    contextful error reporting is not among them.

    * die -> croak

    many errors are caller errors

    * 'aperture' -> 'query'

    KISS terminology

    * high quality error reporting

    This commit restores the errors reported by the Perlish lens to more
    or less the level of quality I had in the first, naive query syntax.

    Summarization size threshold varies by platform.

    After several rounds of CPAN tester feedback that this module's tests
    fail on every architecture aside from x86_64 (that is, my laptop), it
    has become apparent that the module needs to be a little smarter
    about how Perl's memory footprint varies according to arch. In order
    to do so, I've introduced an 'exemplar' large data structure that
    seems like a sane max size.

    Additionally, this commit introduces the 'diagnostic' param to
    Test2's 'like': future failed tests should be a little clearer.

    Scalar truncation size: 512 -> 256

    This creates a bit of symmetry with the scalar sample size (64 bytes)
    and ref key sample count (4).

    I think this is still reasonable, but I suspect that rather than
    trying to tune this size to be exactly right it'd be better to
    support a 'slice'-ish syntax for people to be able to pick chunks out
    of strings or arrays.
