[Python-ideas] Could the ast module's ASTs preserve source_length in addition to lineno and col_offset?

[Haoyi Li]

Anyone else have any thoughts about this? This seems like it would be a
pretty straightforward thing to do, and I would be happy to go through the
code and submit a patch. The only question is whether we want to do it in
the first place; are there any reasons it can't/shouldn't be done that I'm
not aware of?
