"How do I calculate the line number of ...?" is a '''very''' frequently-asked question. There's no satisfying answer, in general. While [introspection] is generally one of Tcl's strengths, no one has yet invested what's necessary to implement a line-number calculation satisfyingly. [[Explain difficulties (byte-coded vs. not, in script vs. proc body vs. eval)?]] [[Various ways to instrument existing procedures ... ]] [[Tom Tromey once wrote extension (?) to do this. Arjen Markus' Tclcov (?) does a nearly (?) identical instrumentation.]] [[tclguy's summary: "it is going to have to be somebody's science project"]]
