Compiler: ignore objects

[josephjclark]

A good optimisation in the compiler would be to ignore structures like objects, which we don't really do anything with.

Parsing large JSON objects is very intensive for the compiler.

What we'd ideally do is make the visitor quit when it starts traversing a structure like an object.

Counter point: we do need to support lazy state in object properties. Oh but not in a callback. So in some places yeah, we might be able to exit early.

This may be affecting MSF

And maybe it's not objects per say, but any const declaration. Or even any nested scope, because all compiler stuff really only runs at the top level

Can you provide example scenarios?

Hey @doc-han - nothing to worry about for now, I don't think this is the problem after all. Just wanted to make a note for myself while I was on a call

For the record the scenario is a 22k line Javscript source file, most of which is JSON data
