That does seem to be the direction he's working on.  But that seems to 
me to be unnecessarily verbose when the location we want is also the 
location of a decl we're printing; that's the purpose of the + modifier, 
which is used extensively in the C++ front end.

Manuel, what's the rationale for requiring people to write out 
DECL_SOURCE_LOCATION (decl) in this situation?
