If we are always going to generate a parse tree with annotations from the 
parser, let’s not generate two!

I’m fine with always generating the annotations, but we just need to check that 
it doesn’t have insupportable costs.

We can’t make the result type depend on DynFlags! (Yet)(

                            else WihoutsApiAnnotations)

We could conceptually have

  parser :: DynFlags -> String -> Either (HsSyn (Parsed WithApiAnnotations)) 
(HsSyn (Parsed NoApiAnnotations))

The main point is that the next phase can make use of either of the variants.

And it may be simplest to just always use the annotations, the ParsedSource is 
normally discarded after renaming anyway.
