Hello, Michael, Brad

I still think it would be necessary that the callchain can be back-traced
to the exact source line in the user code, imagine you are debugging a
large Chapel program and make break points, you definitely want to
back-trace to where the function/statement was called in the user code (not
interested in internal modules usually).  Since now the line number is
correctly mapped to the user code, why couldn't the filename be right ? Do
you have any idea how the filename information could be transferred as well
?

Thanks
