Hi Patrick,

The problem is that sometimes you have code of a few hundred lines, to
which you have added a strange little line that craps out because of
some silly mistake that would be apparent if you knew which line to look
at. However.... you don't want to start inserting browser statements
inside the code, hoping to get close, you just want to know what line
caused the issue.
I already use ESS. If it would give line numbers, my life would be perfect!
Is there something about debugging in S/R that I am missing? I don't
want to have to run a debugger except when there is a real problem, not
just some silliness.
