[New-bugs-announce] [issue25886] ast module is combining string literals that are concatenated with plus operator

[Myron Walker]

New submission from Myron Walker:

ast module is combining string literals that are concatenated with plus operator into a single string in the parsestrplus module rather than maintaining the true syntax tree of the original document.

The fact that ast combines strings and does not maintain the original syntax of the document means that original syntax information is lost and a writer walking the abstract syntax tree is unable to reproduce the original syntax
of the document.
