Thanks!

Yeah, the growth is expected.  It's interesting to have actual numbers,
thank you for that.

Cool!

Yeah.  For Built-in tokens that are expanded like that we only do track
their the location of their expansion, not their spelling location.  So
this behaviour is expected as well.

Indeed.

Yeah, maintainability is why I kept it.  But if the maintainers feel
strongly about it I can, certainly just remove that assignment.

Thank you for your time on this!

Cheers.
