This is about Formatting Request.

We'll investigate.

@polarker I started to look at formatting, but I see one big problem: comments

We are not keeping them in our AST, adding them might be a bit ugly as we need them in a lot of place, but I could give a try.

But I might get back to the discussion of having a parse phase to build a "Parse tree" or "Concrete Syntax Tree".

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree :

Parse trees are typically built by a parser during the source code translation and compiling process. Once built, additional information is added to the AST by means of subsequent processing, e.g., contextual analysis.
