[swift-dev] Consider removing the space in Swift AST dump's "decl" attribute?

[Minsheng Liu]

Thanks for your information. However, what I intend to work on is a
Swift-to-JS translator, which I guess probably need to stick with the
upstream anyway. I think that make the output a bit more parsing-friendly
will not harm, will it?

Moreover, if you do not suggest parse the dumped AST, is there any
recommended way to reuse the compiler’s front-end?

Thank you,
Minsheng
