--------------

Inspection determines that the source range is accessed from the compiler API, and that it gives a start position of 5 and end position of 6.

It will need to be determined if this is a compiler bug or intended behavior. If the later, than a different mechanism will need to be used.

------------
Note: There are no issues with method, classes, and expressions...

jshell> \u00AA m() { return null;}
| created method m()

jshell> class C extends \u00AA {}
| created class C

jshell> new \u00AA()
