Caveats (roadblocks and deviations)
Compiler vs. Editor
Compiler > must produce 100% correct output > expects 100%
valid input
Editor > is allowed to produce incomplete output > should
handle incomplete/invalid input
@glimmer/syntax > written for the template compiler > can not
handle incomplete/invalid input {{#link-to "|
