there is \ef statement now

I understanding. But this functionality is implemented yet. My
motivation is to design some tool for more easy searching n. row in
source code (for interpretation error messages) and possibility to see
this row in some context.

maybe we can gently select an behave with last char in command

\df+ standard output - numbered source code
\dfd - show only source code (\ Detail Function Dump )
