As someone who spends a lot of time maintaining code that I did not write, I
have to say that it is not enough that the "programmer knows his bindings".
She might, but I do not. This kind of helpful signposting of exactly what file
+ linenumber + character position to look at, is really useful for someone who
is not familiar with the code.
