Too clever by far. The peculiar way in which the comments disappear,
the fact that the code is wrong when I used a (so-far-non-existent)
peephole optimizer to optimize my .pyc files... I'd rather show NO
line (so long as we still give file and line number) than try to
guess in an overly clever manner.
