I disagree: Using backtraces for this is a pretty ugly hack!

IDEs should not need to examine backtraces for a simple and common
task like adding files to a target! Ideally server-mode would have a
way to ask cmake where to add a source into a target and that will
then tell you the file/line/column to add the file into.
