[MLton-devel] debugging native assembly and line numbers

When compiling -debug true, the native codegen emits .s files instead
of .S files and hence doesn't use __LINE__ for feeding reasonable line
numbers to the GC.  Why?  Wouldn't it be better to still generate the
.S, use the preprocessor, and debug the .s?  Won't the line numbers
still be close?

This comes up because I'm trying to debug some assembly and its
annoying not having the line numbers.
