Please don't lose the big picture here.
Previously, the reported line number was *somewhere close* to the currently 
executing code. That's typically all I need from a traceback: the fix for a bug 
often needs to go a few lines above/below where it's reported.

If, in an effort to make line numbers *exact*, we determine that there's no 
good line number to report and use -1 or None, we're introducing a regression.

That sounds like a reasonable idea, despite the drawback. As we can see from 
the report, *any* change will probably break *some* tools.
