  A couple of positioning fixes for more AST nodes (variable assignments
now have proper offsets), but not the comments in AST task.

  We coallesce most of the string nodes into single nodes when we
can now.  There is still one odd case left where we have a DStrNode
with a null value and a child of another String Node type.  Since
we got a decent speed win for doing the coallescing, I will be
looking at this known odd case sometime during our next dev cycle.

  I have been meaning to touch base as well.  It would be really great
to have JRuby running from within RDT.   I am hoping we can get RDT
launching JRuby and stepping through it by the end of the year...
