Will have to think more about this, but lets finish off the excruciating  
problem of keeping track of filenames too along with line and column  
numbers.

I can' think of any sensible programming language, at least, that doesn't  
use modules/include files that are processed along with a given set of  
input files. Keeping track of file names and *their* line numbers is a  
painful business. Given all the funky things we're doing with ANTLR right  
now, we haven't got source error reporting right till now :-(
