To clarify, I had in mind something like in the attached patch. The
idea is to make start/end location capturing relatively independent from
the constants squashing. The new parsing node conveys the location
information, which is then getting transformed to be a part of an
ArrayExpr. It's done for in_expr only here, something similar would be
needed for array_expr as well. Feedback is appreciated.
