## Summary
The problem: given a (row, column) number (e.g., for a token in the AST), we need to be able to map it to a precise byte index in the source code. A while ago, we moved to `ropey` for this, since it was faster in practice (mostly, I think, because it's able to defer indexing). However, at some threshold of accesses, it becomes faster to index the string in advance, as we're doing here.
## Benchmark
It looks like this is ~3.6% slower for the default rule set, but ~9.3% faster for `--select ALL`.
**I suspect there's a strategy that would be strictly faster in both cases**, based on deferring even more computation (right now, we lazily compute these offsets, but we do it for the entire file at once, even if we only need some slice at the top), or caching the `ropey` lookups in some way.

## Alternatives
I tried tweaking the `Vec::with_capacity` hints, and even trying `Vec::with_capacity(str_indices::lines_crlf::count_breaks(contents))` to do a quick scan of the number of lines, but that turned out to be slower.
