Are you sure? Most of the time you're going to have
chunks of contiguous lines coming from the same file,
and the bytecode->filename table will only have an
entry for the first bytecode of the first line of
each chunk. I don't see how that works out differently
from mapping bytecodes->lines and then lines->files.
