[cfe-dev] Question about InsertTextBefore() a function decl whose return type is typedef'd.

[Gabor Kozar via cfe-dev]

This sounds like a bug in clang.

typedefs are not expanded in the same way that macros are, and should
not cause the same misery on SourceLocations as they do. Verify that the
source range you're getting is valid.
