Represents the location information for error reporting purposes. This is normally used to associate a run-time error with the original XML. This is not used for arbitrary errors from tasks, which store location in a BuildXXXXEventArgs. All implementations should be IMMUTABLE. Any editing of the project XML through the MSBuild API's will invalidate locations in that XML until the XML is reloaded.
