The recent changes in #33773 got me thinking that until each saved vis object is stored as a true expression, our
build_pipelineutility for converting a stored vis into an expression string is going to become increasingly complex and error prone, especially as we continue refactoring each of the functions.I thought that perhaps we could reduce our likelihood for errors and eliminate some duplication by having a chainable helper class that could be used to help build the expression string. This a quick POC I put together; if it feels like we want to move in this direction, I will update this PR with tests & convert everything over.
Basically the class takes care of the following:
if (foo) pipeline += footype of checks in the code that this would eliminate the need forMaybe a utility like this would even have applications in other places, like unit tests? idk
