Seems to me Declarations and SourceLocationSpec's are different things.  A 
Declaration describes just where something is in a source file.  And moreover, 
there need to be a lot of them, since every function, type etc has one.  So you 
might be concerned about size for this entity.

A SourceLocationSpec (maybe we should make a better name?) is about specifying 
how you search for a source location (e.g. to set a breakpoint on it.)  
Declarations don't need "include_inlines" or "exact_match" or anything else we 
might end up adding to specify how to look for matches against a source line 
specification somebody used in break set or other places.

So I don't think it makes sense to conflate the two.
