[OptionsResolver] Optimize splitOutsideParenthesis() - 2.91x faster

bendavies · bendavies · commit e01b177106a7 · 2025-07-25T17:10:36.000+01:00
- Fast path for simple types (no pipes)
 - Fast path for unions without parentheses
 - Eliminate string concatenation overhead
 - Switch statement for character matching

  Reduces form processing time significantly for large forms.
