Hi-

Sometimes syntax errors in the macro expander don't give enough info to
locate the error.

If I create a file that contains 

(define (func)
  (let ((val #t))
    (if val
        0
        1
        2)))

I load the file, Guile reports the syntax error, but, it doesn't give a line
number.  Obviously I could find the error in this trivial example, but, it
longer source code files, it would be nice to know the line number.

Below is the non-autocompiled outputs.  The autocompiled
output is similar.

$ GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 guile --debug -s tmp.scm
