Well, I don't know, but I have never had to resort to the parser
debugging code for that sort of thing. In worst cases looking at the
preprocessed file is normally enough to find the problem. It's true
that line numbers are sometimes off in wrc errors, and that should
clearly be fixed; but the parser debug stuff is not something that
should be exposed to users. Do you still have the file that shows an
unhelpful error?  You should file a bug with it, and I'll have a
look.
