[issue38166] ast identifies incorrect column for compound attribute lookups

[Ivan Levkivskyi]

As Serhiy explained, there is no bug here, _potentially_ we could change AST so that attribute name (i.e. "b" in "a.b") is wrapped in a special node holding the position info (similar to ``ast.arg``), but it is a breaking change and is not worth it. You can re-open your issue on PyLint tracker.
