Stratego runtime should be able to access origin tracking / position information (1)
Stratego programs should be able to inspect, maybe even manipulate position information. One use case is in comparing the positions of terms (e.g, "is this declaration the same node in the tree, or is it a duplicate somewhere else?).

This issue currently blocks Spoofax/12.

Some functions that should be in this API:
- origin-term
- origin-text – to get the original text string
- origin-equals(|x)
- origin-line
- origin-column
- origin-track-forced(s) = !Some(<id>); all(s); ?Some(<id>)

- origin-strip
- Enabling garbage collection of the associated AST
- origin-available / has-origin
- Might just be defined as not(origin-term)
Also, origin-preserve might be a better name than origin-track-forced.

Implemented in 0.4.3.
(Note that I prefer the name origin-track-forced since it’s “origin tracking”, not “origin preservation”. Also, it is usually automatic, but in this case you’re forcing it.)
