After seeing yet another YAML dialect for controlling systems, I think we need a hierarchy of YAML dialect expressiveness. (1) Has its own variable binding system. (2) Supports if statements. (3) Supports loops. (4) Supports function definition. 2 seems to be the most common, but I've seen all of 1-3. Does level 4 exist in the wild yet?

I've added some new keybindings to deadgrep.el, so I split the shortcut tables into two categories: https://github.com/Wilfred/deadgrep#keybindings I've done this purely by intuition. Are there good rules or heuristics for deciding when more hierarchy is needed in information, I wonder?

Pharo 9 refactoring demonstrates some clever analysis: if you extract a method from an expression, it can find other occurrences of that expression in the class hierarchy! https://pharoweekly.wordpress.com/2021/04/01/pharo-90-refactoring-support-improves-steadily/
