It's interesting too. But I think compraring raw parse tree and
post-parse-analysis tree is sometimes usefull to understand the source
code.

Yes, that's what I mean. However if I'm the only one who is
interesting in the raw parse tree, I can live with gdb/pprint().

Another issue is, some node types are not supported in outfuncs.c.

WARNING: could not dump unrecognized node type: 911

I could post patches for this if there's enough interest.
