New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com>:
Currently ast.dump() outputs values for optional fields even if they are equal
to defaults. This makes the output unnecessary verbose.
For example (kind and type_comment are optional):
>>> ast.dump(ast.parse('x = 1'))
"Module(body=[Assign(targets=[Name(id='x', ctx=Store())],
value=Constant(value=1, kind=None), type_comment=None)], type_ignores=[])"
