What did you do?

I'm developing an linter to remove duplicate words from comments.(Yes, I know this scenario would be fine in many cases using the text tool, I just wanted to learn go ast by the way)

When my test file is as follows:

/*
package a
this comment include duplicated word and
and so the current line of `and` should 
be removed
*/
package a

After run dupword -fix ./... this file become :

package a

My analysis.Diagnostic.SuggestedFixes.TextEditsis

TextEdits: []analysis.TextEdit{{
						Pos:     c.Slash,
						End:     c.End(),
						NewText: []byte(update),
					}},

https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/248c34b88a4148128f89e41923498bd86f805b7d/go/analysis/internal/checker/checker.go#L377
change to offsetedit, the offsetedit.start is 0. And it is ignored in https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/go/analysis/internal/checker/checker.go#L408

What did you expect to see?

even if TextEdits.Pos is 0, it can be applied.

What did you see instead?

Just be deleted.
