Issue #4385 recommends a significant addition to Leo. I want to make Leo usable for studying large repos such as Rust's compiler.

I have considered many alternatives not mentioned in the issue itself. Here are the takeaways:

- Only @clean can possibly do the job. @auto would be way too slow.
- Leo can (must!) avoid the @clean update algorithm when the external file has not changed.
- For changed files, a new postpass can be used to split nodes as necessary when changes define new functions or methods.

All comments on this project are welcome here or in the issue itself.
