Ah, I see what you mean. I think the idea is fine, it will simplify
certain things as well as address the issue. But I'm afraid adding
start/end location to A_Expr is a bit too invasive, as it's being used
for many other purposes. How about introducing a new expression for this
purposes, and use it only in in_expr/array_expr, and wrap the
corresponding expressions into it? This way the change could be applied
in a more targeted fashion.
