Unfortunately, this method is not robust enough.
If some part of the line in question matches the same pattern

You can provide your own name for the chunk (easier in Lua 5.2
but doable in 5.1). Just choose a name that does not contain that
pattern.
Yes, this is an option (and I thought about that).
It'd be however much better if those functions returned the line number
as their 3-rd return value. Then all the trickery wouldn't be necessary.
