This will also be useful as the other one was covered under the MPL
license, so we will be better off with the X11 licensed version of it.

To preserve memory usage, I suggest that you use something like mcs's
location.cs that is able to encode filename + line + column in a single
int32.  

Also, tokens probably could be better as int32 values, and you could
track location on parallel, not in the tokens but in the actual nodes of
the AST to save space.
