They're mostly used to emit debugging information, so that the object
file points at the original file, as opposed to the generated file.
However, the preprocessor also uses these notes to look for headers
mentioned in `#include "header.h"' directives (compare with `#include
<header.h>', that causes the preprocessor to search only the default
search path, not do relative search).
