Simplify reading LIGO_LW documents (!1462) · Merge requests · Duncan Macleod / gwpy

Duncan Macleod requested to merge github/fork/duncanmmacleod/no-ilwdchar_compat into master Dec 20, 2021

This PR simplifies reading LIGO_LW-format XML documents by replacing the annoying ilwdchar_compat system where documents are parsed twice, with a content handler-based system where ilwdchar types are swapped with the relevant int-like types on-the-fly automatically as documents are being parsed.

This allows to simplify everything else about reading LIGO_LW documents.
