Also, unless the programmer is doing weird things with shadowing, is the "bound at" information really valuable? I’d say no: Usually, the programmer knows his bindings, and even if not, she will not have any problems finding the right binding.
As someone who spends a lot of time maintaining code that I did not write, I have to say that it is not enough that the "programmer knows his bindings". She might, but I do not. This kind of helpful signposting of exactly what file + linenumber + character position to look at, is really useful for someone who is not familiar with the code. Regards, Malcolm
