[fpc-pascal]Runtime Error Source References

With all this discussion of using GDB (and the associated hassles) to
get runtime error source references, I fondly remember my Turbo Pascal
days, and the AMAZED delight the first time (about 1982) I encountered a
runtime error and there was a choice to press "E" and be taken into the
editor to the place in the source where the error occurred.  And it
WORKED!!  

Are there any plans to implement the capability for an FPC program to
output (via the exception system) not only the runtime error number, but
also the source file name, line number and character number?  Indeed, I
would like to be able to capture this info and write it to a log file
for QA purposes.

I respectfully request that it be considered.  Thanks.

Mark
