FWIW this sounds like a great idea to me. Clang calls these "presumed 
locations" instead of "virtual locations" but either way is fine with me. I'd 
like one of the SourceKit folks to weigh in, though, since they're the most 
involved in operations at this layer. (That'd be Argyrios Kyrtzidis, Ben 
Langmuir, Xi Ge, David Farler, or Nathan Hawes.)
