Enhancing reader

Question

Attach "character start" and "character end" to the meta information of read forms produced by clojure.lang.EdnReader and clojure.lang.LispReader.
This will allows for better code inspection by linters for example. Currently only line number and column are attached to the meta information.

I am not certain, but perhaps the EDN and regular reader in the tools.reader contrib library already do what you want here? That is, besides :line and :column metadata, they also have :end-line and :end-column metadata for the end of the expression.
