Ah, yes. This is part of the annoying inconsistency in our asdl framework. Here's what I think should happen: - on arguments, vararg and kwarg should get the "arg" type, killing some of the numerous fields on arguments - asdl needs to be hacked, so "arg" can have a lineno and col_offset attributes like the "expr" type. Sorry this is getting so painful and involved.
