As I was playing with `VirtualParser` some more, it occurred to me that storing 
end positions in the AST (and getting rid of the pos table) is a significant 
advantage in that setup, as we won't have to pay for "merging" different end 
pos tables (e.g. that of the VirtualParser with the one of the parent 
JavacParser).
