Result from running script

The . and .-1, .+1, .-2 forms are fine.  The .-62 forms are as problematic as
the original I suspect.  I think we should exclude any number greater than some
small int, say, 9.  So, .-9 .. .+9 in the new form only.  If outside that
range, I think I'd rather punt.  The idea is that the absolute number at least
has a line number that in an editor you can go directly to, and it corresponds
with the number in the error messages directly, aiding understanding which one
is referred to without having to ungoop the relative number first.

Let's see if anyone else has any comments.  If not, I'd pre-approve the change
with the range reduced.
