Nope, though we should just switch to use ELF at some point. Not this
month though :)

As Jao notes it is useful to be able to map at runtime, and currently we
do this well, mapping to line and column within parts of procedures.

But it would be good to be able to map to expressions too, and having
the original source available without mapping to the filesystem should
be an option. It's tough without having the whole environment, though.
Something to think about :)
