Consider the following snippet:

We all know what will happen.

File "<stdin>", line 4, in <module>
foo(1, 2, 3)
TypeError: foo() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given
```
Would it be reasonable to include the line number for the function `foo()` that it resolved the
call to? I.e. 'File "<stdin>", line 1, in foo'.
And presumably the module name as well. If foo had been imported from a
different module instead of defined in the current one, the line number
alone would be less helpful.

There are situations (e.g. monkey patch) where this is not obvious. Would be
great detail to include that in the traceback, I think.
