Description

WARNING: this mechanism may be changed or removed at any time: it is not recommended for use by users at this stage.

This is an experimental PR, with work-in-progress, to see if I can speed up custom instructions that use query.allTasks to iterate over all tasks in the vault.

• It provides a mechanism to cache calculated values at the start of the search, rather than re-calculating them for all tasks, once-per-task.
• I like the mechanism, but it requires too much JavaScript knowledge for me to be comfortable yet, documenting it for users.

Motivation and Context

Exploring speeding up the search in:

• Sort group according to priority of each task inside each group #3332

Once this is merged, I will be able to use it in my own vault, and see if I can:

• come up with some simpler examples to use in documentation, or
• come up with an easier-to-use implementation

How has this been tested?

• Automated tests
• Exploratory testing
