Swift tree-sitter grammar is out of date

[alex-pinkus]

A while back, we discussed an approach that would allow Helix to consume the Swift grammar directly from my repository rather than the fork it currently uses. The end result (which has worked pretty well in my repo) is that my with-generated-files branch gets updates every time a new release is published, which allows (for instance) the CodeEditTextView to consume that branch using the prebuilt grammar from SwiftPM.

I notice that you haven't yet switched! I don't have a problem with that, but you should know that since then there have been quite a few very useful improvements, such as:

• Significantly improving query load time by simplifying pattern match logic
• Fixing some parsing bugs with binary expressions and function calls
• Supporting edge cases that source code editors often care about, like files that end in a comment or without a newline.

Switching should now be as easy as just using rev 77c6312c8438f4dbaa0350cec92b3d6dd3d74a66 , the latest commit on with-generated-files. I would offer to do it myself but I haven't ramped up on building Helix so I wouldn't be able to do a sanity check after trying it out.

Sweet! I see the new revision being at least twice as fast as what we have pinned for query analysis in debug builds 🚀

Switching to the new branch must've fell through the cracks, I could've sworn there was a PR 😅

I'll make one now and update the queries as well
