Source location info is missing because currently (as of 3.0.5), Guile
keeps location info in the form of “source properties” only for lists.
The ‘sway-bindsym’ symbol above has no associated location info.

This may change in the near future as Andy has been rewriting ‘read’
(the Scheme “parser”) in Scheme, among other things.
