It's not simple because it is not a simple line-by-line evaluation.
The whole file is parsed and the resulting code then executed, by
which time the line information has been lost. If you can come up with
a well thought out scheme for retaining it, patches might be
considered. (There's not much chance of getting an R 1.8.2, though.)
