I have no objection to the proposed feature to support generated
files mapping back to other sources.  If the patch is sound and
has associated documentation (e.g. Help/manual/cmake-language.7.rst)
and tests (e.g. Tests/RunCMake/Syntax) I think it can be accepted.

I do not think the policy Ben mentioned will be needed.  The syntax

 #line 1234 "/path/to/real/file"

is fairly obscure and will be treated as a comment by older CMakes.
