// PathEnclosingInterval returns the node that encloses the source
// interval [start, end), and all its ancestors up to the AST root.
//
// The definition of "enclosing" used by this function considers
// additional whitespace abutting a node to be enclosed by it.
// In this example:
//
//              z := x + y // add them
//                   <-A->
//                  <----B----->
//
// the ast.BinaryExpr(+) node is considered to enclose interval B
// even though its [Pos()..End()) is actually only interval A.
// This behaviour makes user interfaces more tolerant of imperfect
// input.
//
// This function treats tokens as nodes, though they are not included
// in the result. e.g. PathEnclosingInterval("+") returns the
// enclosing ast.BinaryExpr("x + y").
//
// If start==end, the 1-char interval following start is used instead.
//
// The 'exact' result is true if the interval contains only path[0]
// and perhaps some adjacent whitespace.  It is false if the interval
// overlaps multiple children of path[0], or if it contains only
// interior whitespace of path[0].
// In this example:
//
//              z := x + y // add them
//                <--C-->     <---E-->
//                  ^
//                  D
//
// intervals C, D and E are inexact.  C is contained by the
// z-assignment statement, because it spans three of its children (:=,
// x, +).  So too is the 1-char interval D, because it contains only
// interior whitespace of the assignment.  E is considered interior
// whitespace of the BlockStmt containing the assignment.
//
// Precondition: [start, end) both lie within the same file as root.
// TODO(adonovan): return (nil, false) in this case and remove precond.
// Requires FileSet; see loader.tokenFileContainsPos.
//
// Postcondition: path is never nil; it always contains at least 'root'.
