I needed to perform this operation while writing a classifier for the web-feature named
multi-column(as the negation of existing classifiers forcolumn-fillandcolumn-span). Doing so manually would have been error-prone.I believe experience with a tool like this could inform future work on the DSL, such that the files could literally contain a directive like
@INVERTso that it could be computed on-the-fly (instead of maintained as a static list, subject to bit-rot).
