The biggest problem with the patch is that I didn't finish debugging it.
It causes regressions of various kinds -- it is pretty buggy.
There are a few FIXME comments marking known bad spots.

It tracks the "full" location of each token.  So, if a given token resulted
from a macro expansion, you can determine the token's location from before the
macro expansion (which might come from another macro expansion, or a macro
definition, or be an argument to a macro invocation).

It doesn't currently handle the original location of tokens arising from
stringizing or pasting.

> Does this enable us to track macro expansions like Clang?

Yes.
