Re: [heycam/webidl] Proposed solution to make grammar changes less disruptive (#477)

A part of the solution could be https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/issues/7784, which should mean that web-platform-tests IDL is very rarely out of sync with the spec. So, the process for replacing some bit of syntax would be:
1. Add support for the new syntax in webidl2.js and roll that into web-platform-tests
1. Update the WebIDL spec and all specs using the old syntax
1. Wait for all of those IDL changes to roll into web-platform-tests
1. Remove support from the old syntax in webidl2.js
1. It doesn't matter when that reaches web-platform-tests, but it eventually will

Not exactly streamlined, but more fun that updating IDL in wpt manually as I was doing this time.
