We're clearly doing this wrong, is it really worth calling
setline every time we *run* the line in question, surely this is
better supported through some sort of bytecode position -> line number
mapping which is created at compile time, essentially a part of the
bytecode format, rather than an opcode? (imagine if you will:
my int $i = 0;
$i++
until $i > 10000;
print "done\n";
currently would need to be:
setline 1
set I0, 0
BAR: setline 2
inc I0
setline 3
gt I0, 10000, FOO
branch BAR
FOO: setline 4
print "done\n"
end
yuck!)
