Question: could recast potentially support recast.print(JSON.parse(ast-json))?

I'm unfamiliar with the internals of recast, but could recast feasibly support `recast.print(JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(recast.parse(code)))).code`?

I tried it with some minimal input:

var foo = require("foo");

and encounter the exception:

TypeError: lines.skipSpaces is not a function…

util.getTrueLoc
Closure
printStatementSequence
Closure
call
genericPrintNoParens

The problem, of course, is that methods of objects in the AST are stripped in `JSON.stringify`.

This may seem like an odd question/request, but I'd like to experiment with delegating transformation to foreign (non-JS) code.

Reproduce the reported failure with the minimal `var foo = require("foo");` input and inspect `lib/util.js` at `util.getTrueLoc` plus the printer path named in the stack trace. Compare the parsed AST with its JSON round trip, then define whether JSON-deserialized ASTs are supported and what test or documented behavior would demonstrate completion.
