Fix new type error

[JelleZijlstra]

python/typeshed#11880 correctly points out that not all AST nodes have a line and column number.

Maybe a protocol would be a better fit here? Any node will do as long as it has a lineno and col_offset

It might even be worthwhile to add such a protocol to typeshed, considering that this will be a fairly common use case.

Yeah — or perhaps useful_types, since it can be awkward to use typeshed-only types in runtime code.

But for now I think we could just roll our own
