Since I still don't understand the general picture, let me tell you how I would plan to do it, so you can tell me where it matches your approach and where it doesn't: - Change `load-source-file-function` so it uses `read-positioning-symbols` instead of plain `read`. [ This means that macro-expansion will now almost always have sympos, rather than only during compilation, ] - This in turn requires a strip-sympos pass after the eager-macroexpansion phase of `load-source-file-function`. - Change macros like `lambda` so as to use the extract position info from themselves/theirargs/thecontext (when available, since there will still be corner cases where it's not available, such as during non-eager macro expansion) and stash it in their docstring. This might be as simple as adding a line (setq docstring (add-pos-to-docstring docstring ARG)). - Stefan
