How to obtain the line number of AST node?

Howdy!

I'm a bit puzzled as I could not find a way to get the line number of the 

AST nodes. The token classes have getLine() since they derive from Token, 

but after AST translation some AST nodes do not contain any tokens. AST 

node classes are derived from Node, which does not have getLine() so the 

line number seems to be forgotten in the translatation. What to do now? 

There are nodes which can span multiple lines, but it would be enough to 

get the starting line. This seems a bit strange since I'm not the only one 

with this need, so it's possible I have missed something.
