Description
With the current implementation of Stellar, we cannot cache the parse tree and then apply it after the fact. It's just an artifact of how we do the parsing: we actually execute the statement as we parse rather than constructing an AST that can then be evaluated later given a message. Essentially what I'm proposing is that we build the equivalent of Pattern.compile() in Java except for Stellar.
We should for multiple reasons:
- code clarity - decoupling the stellar language from the generated parser code
- performance - saving lexing and parsing for every message
