Oh that’s fine, treesit-explore-mode always wipes everything and start from a 
clean slate. That optimization is for when the user moves point in the source 
buffer when explore-mode is on. If you’d like to send a patch that does roughly 
what I did in the patch I sent, I’d love to merge it. Otherwise I can fix it 
myself, too.

The initial patch could be a bit confusing to the readers since it sets 
last-node twice, and it’s not clear why.

Thanks,
