Issue #19452 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).

Sorry, I'm getting off topic. I think it is possible to use four values of first_lineno, etc. as information to connect `Thread::Backtrace::Location` and AST node. (@ko1 is not so keen on it, though.)

However, we would need to clearly agree that this is a use case of `Thread::Backtrace::Location#first_column`. If we change the return value arbitrarily, it would not be able to match it up with the AST node. Anyway, I think this should be discussed after YARP is completed and incorporated into CRuby.

I discussed this with @mame and it would be pretty useful if we could also get the column information from exception backtrace location, even if it was slow.

A POC:

```ruby
class Thread::Backtrace::Location
  if defined?(RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree)
    def first_column
      RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree.of(self, keep_script_lines: true).first_column
    end
  else
    def first_column
      raise NotImplementedError
    end
  end
end
```

It would be good to have a standard interface, so we follow the same interface as https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19451 and vice versa where it makes sense. I'll investigate it.
