[issue42889] Incorrect behavior of Python parser after ast node of test program being modified

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

I don't think this is a bug, unless you can show an example where the bytecode compiler or the interpreter actually crashes. Basically you can change AST nodes in lots of ways that don't correspond to valid programs, and as long as you can't make CPython crash we don't care.
