I don't think that throwing away source file error locations should ever
be a default.  It might be available as an optimization for, say,
multiple pass processing, in case that it really, really, provably is
quite expensive to maintain.  But it is not a debug option in as far as
it is part of debugging Lilypond, but rather of debugging user input.
