This PR adds a "wikify" operator that has the same functionality as the wikify widget. I regard this as quite controversial because while it unlocks some important capabilities, it also suffers from performance issues and invites users to adopt patterns that can be dangerous:
<$list>
widget to generate a set of numbers instead of the[range[]]
operator. Besides being horribly inefficient, there are pitfalls with unexpected wikificationThis PR is cherry picked from #8702; I plan to refactor the work there to not require the wikify operator because of the performance issues.
The question now is what are the use cases for the wikify operator, and are there any other ways to accomplish those use cases?
