Here is a possible design to improve edit and verify.

Some AST nodes have children and some do not. Some AST nodes are produced 
during 
parsing and some during transforming. AST nodes...
 * without children and created by the parser have a location computed by the parser;
 * with children have a location that is computed from their children locations;
 * without children and created by a transformer have a location that is computed 
from the locations of their 'motivating nodes'.

AST nodes should not be distinguished on the basis of their location. In 
particular, 
if whitespace is modified in the input file, then the parser must reuse the 
*same* 
AST and update the location information. If the location information is kept 
into an 
augmented binary tree then it is updated in Theta(lg n) time.

If the derived location information is cached, then some of the cached values 
must be 
removed when the raw location information changes. It is probably simpler and 
just as 
fast to recompute the derived location information every time.
