That sounds reasonable. I can add treesit-parser-live-p, and add
a "live" PROPERTY to treesit-node-check.

treesit-parser-live-p only returns t when the parser is not deleted AND
its buffer is live. I assume that’s more useful than just checking
whether the parser is deleted, for whatever usecase you have?

Eli, should we add this in the release branch or Emacs 30? This
functionality is possible to implement in Elisp, albeit a bit clunky. I
attached a patch of how would it look like (without documentation/test).
