Why do I get the feeling that Parrot is going to end up stuck supporting
a syntax where:
#line
and
# line
mean two different things? If the only good thing that can be said
about using '#' for debug info is that compilers can emit it right now,
supported or not, then it's worth noting that compilers can also emit
'#.debug_hll ...' right now and the '#' can simply be removed when
support for it is ready.
