So would there be any objection to simplifying the parser so that it

Can anyone think of trouble that this change would cause?
I think that this is reasonable.  It is useful to have the input source,
but this is retained for most purposes anyhow.  Simplifying the parser
has substantial value, too.  I vote for making this change.
