Why is unparsing out of the scope of the base syntax tree of a dynamic language such as python?

Is that just a personal opinion? Would adding proper storage of syntax information in the AST cause performance issues?

Is there some documentation that defines the scope of the AST module that indicates this is out of scope.

The syntax for numerical constants is properly stored by the AST module.

Example:
    TEST_INT = 1 + 1

Why would the syntax of integer constants be more important than the syntax associated with comments, two string literals, or from multi-line strings.
