I don't really see the benefit of this. You are trading a O(1)
operation to an O(log(n)) . It can only be faster in specific
cases, which should be measured.
Technically, I'm trading N*0(1) operations needed to track line
and column while consuming each character to M*0(log(n))
operations when calculating them on demand. N = number of
characters, n is number of lines and M is number of actual usages
of Location. My assumption is that M << N (M is much smaller than
N).
