I have an application that will read in a large number of structures
from a file. those structures will be used throughout the application
to produce additional data etc. since they are "user" configurable,
it would be nice to know where they come from should one of them start
misbehaving. the type of metadata the compiler associates with
function definitions etc. would be very valuable. if I'm reading my
structures in with (read) is there anyway to get it to attach filename
and line-number etc. metadata?
for example if I have something like this:
(defn read-obj [file]
(with-in-reader file
(read)))
it would be nice if the object returned would be tagged with file-
relavent metadata.
(this example shows only reading one from the file, but imagine
reading many from one file. i know I can just (with-meta) the file
name onto the result, but there is lots of other meta data the
compiler can already produce, it'd be nice to just grab all that for
free)
