The reason for that is probably to be able to emit "caret" diagnostics:
error messages including column numbers and echoing the
erroneous line. Hopefully soon the USE_MAPPED_LOCATION patch
will be in, which will remove/reduce the need for the special
error handling.

How about for now using %<...%> and writing a 5-line patch to
convert %<...%> to '...'. Then we can use the new %<...%>
immediately.
