The patch looks pretty straight-forward.  Good idea to implement
this, IMHO.  One question about the patch:

+	  else
+	    /* d_lines is set, treat line as code and eat the identifier.  */
+	    *start.nextc++;
+	}

Does this mean that all column numbers are going to be off by one?

Separate is easier to work with for reviewers.
