Again, look at ALLPROSE. The idea is that while generating the .as files 
you also generate line information into that file. Something like

#line 56 "myalps/prtype.as.nw"

that gives the compiler a hint where it should look for the original 
source. Of course, you need a smart compiler to deal with #line 
directives. The same applies for a debugger. The compiler should forward 
the #line information into the executable so that the debugger can deal 
with that information.

There is simply no need to have chunk names corresponding to filenames.
