I actually have the revisions necessary to do location lists, but it
makes work of the location expression lists anyway (We just store range
list mapping ranges to locexpr batons). It's literally nothing but a
layer over that code that picks out the right baton(s) for the given
pc, and calls the location functions for each baton.
