this isn't a new idea, but it hasn't had its own ticket before, at least, I can't find one.

at the umbrella ticket #430 (comment) @adriaanm said (in response to @xeno-by's question) rangepos "will be on by default" in 2.13, as a goal at least

@olafurpg has said "The Scalameta Semantic API, which Scalafix uses, requires -Yrangepos" (here) so this is an important area for anyone interested in improving the quality of tooling for Scala
