[New-bugs-announce] [issue43705] [docs] Document that SyntaxError's offsets are 1-indexed

[Ammar Askar]

New submission from Ammar Askar <ammar at ammaraskar.com>:

As pointed out by Guido in https://bugs.python.org/issue43555, we switched to making the column offsets for SyntaxError be 1-indexed consistently in https://bugs.python.org/issue34683

The rationale is explained by Guido and expanded upon in follow up comments here: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/9338#pullrequestreview-155989089 

This property however was not actually ever added to SyntaxError's documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#SyntaxError
