Object literal shorthand generator methods have incorrect range

Interesting point. The conundrum here is that this behavior matches Esprima's, so even if it's the wrong thing, there's a large compatibly issue to consider.

This definitely seems weird, it's just a matter of figuring out of its a bug to fix or not.

Agreed; I wouldn't advocate breaking compatibility unnecessarily. However, I might be able to make the case that this would be a bug in Esprima:

Now that I edited the test script above to output arg1, it shows a strange scenario in which one can traverse, starting at the FunctionExpression (range 18-20), down into a child, arg1 (range 12-16), that lies outside the range of its parent. I can't think of any other instance off the top of my head where that would be the case.

I think a good case can be made that this is a bug. Would you mind filing an issue with Esprima to start the discussion?

Upon further investigation, this applies to non-generator shorthand methods as well.
