This is not a real patch. I just separated changes I made in
org-element.el. Other changes include cache support across Org code and
tests. In total it looks roughly like:

12 files changed, 2584 insertions(+), 1140 deletions(-)

However, I did not directly base the patch on master, but rather on
(hopefully-to-be-merged-at-some-point org-fold branch :'/). I am not too
interested in porting the patch onto master. At least not until I get
feedback on parser and API changes.

Applying the patch will not work. As I said, it is mostly for reference
to show the changes to parser and API. If you want to test it, you can
use https://github.com/yantar92/org. That repo includes the org-fold
branch and the new cache implementation.

Best,
