Heyho!

I'm writing a little toy project, part of it involves scripts that pre-
process sql and then feed it to psql.

Is it possible to set the input filename / line number in psql?

(Similar to how cpp includes this information so that the compiler can 
report the filename/line number of the C file and not the preprocessed 
file.)

If it's not possible: would it be realistic that PostgreSQL would accept a 
patch, if I were to implement it?  Either (without changing the syntax) 
using \set a special variable, or (for those who'd like to use cpp) 
extending the lexer and accepting the cpp syntax.  (Perhaps conditionally on 
a --cpp-processed cmdline option.)

cheers
