Sounds good.  I have the vague feeling that I mentioned it already, but
in case I haven't: please make sure the positions are character-precise
rather than line-precise, so that we can (eventually) ditch Edebug's
Elisp-reimplementation-of-the-reader which returns the same kind of info
(and needs character-precise location info).
