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.

I thought for sure Greg had left off the smiley.
