I used that trick all the time, and if I'm remembering correctly, I
haven't been able to find where it was officially documented before.
Thanks for the pointer. (It doesn't hep that it doesn't have a specific
name.)

Note that Devel::Cover doesn't pick up on these line number and file
name hints (or more accurately, the low-level B::* modules it uses
don't) when it aggregates all the logged activity together in its reports.
