Hi,

I'm curious if there is a documented/accepted way to give source code
locations with error messages from macros.  I noticed that some of the
objects passed to a macro have meta data that contains a line number,
but other objects, like symbols, do not.  And I don't see any
filenames.   I was imagining something like this...

(defmacro something [a ...]
  (if (not (symbol? a))
      (let [loc (get-source-location a)]
         (throwf "file: %s line: %s  a should be a symbol" (loc :file)
(loc :line)
       ...

Thoughts?

thanks,
Rob
