That's a good question :-) This all comes down to decode_line_1. The
question of whether to change its parsing or document its quirks is
beyond me, I'm afraid. I'm reluctant to try touching that code.
I wonder if, for some major version bump, we should document a new
syntax for referring to source locations and implement it from
scratch?
