+/*
+ * A wrapper expression to record start and end location
+ */
+typedef struct LocationExpr
+{
+ NodeTag type;
+
+ /* the node to be wrapped */
+ Node    *expr;
+ /* token location, or -1 if unknown */
+ ParseLoc start_location;
+ /* token location, or -1 if unknown */
+ ParseLoc end_location;
+} LocationExpr;

Why not a location and a length, it should be more natural, it
seems we use this convention in some existing nodes, like
RawStmt, InsertStmt etc.
