   we should just switch to use ELF at some point.

OK, i'll keep my ear to the ground for that.

   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 :)

Agreed.  Sorry, i wasn't precise.  I should have said:

Anyone interested in this kind of stuff should probably take a look
at Guile 1.4.x script ‘scan-md-module’, which does things the hard way.
That is, if you find yourself doing the same, beware!
