I have used character offsets in my PSD-like debugger, Aries, without
difficulty inside both Emacs and MrEd.
Anyway, I think the actual specification of what construes a location
should be left a little vague. Should it be the line number? Line
number + column number? Offset? Should it include the filename?
(Absolute filename or relative filename?) I have a front-end that
keeps track of all four of these things, and is probably still missing
something. I really don't think meaningful agreement can be reached
on this (or even needs to be, given its intended purpose).
