Well yes, but from the perspective of user model (and deferred lint handler) -- a lint warning would be _always_ be associated with some declaration. So it's up to the clients that have special requirements (such as parser and tokenizer) to make up for the difference -- rather than coming up with a more general way to map positions back to tree (which, if done, well at that point you could well be using positions everywhere).

Thanks for taking a look.

P.S.
I see a lot of changes related to positions -- @lahodaj @archiecobbs  do you thing that https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/23669 would still be nice to have even if we don't need to map positions back to trees?
