Hi Joel,
IMHO most of the time there is a linenumber involved, in your
special cases:
a, c, d: there must be some sort of do/reduce somewhere, that
_is_ anchored in sourcecode
b: well, try to give the original linenumber, but remember,
you'll have real problems to find the error position, with
the where: ..., too.
Where doesn't need to be completely dropped, though.
regards,
Ingo
