Well kamailio did have the line number for actions, sip-router has
complete position information for expressions :-)

We should add it, but it's not so simple. We should have complete
position information, like we have for expressions (start line, start
column, end line and end column -- struct cfg_pos in route_struct.h). To
add this we need to propagate this information through all the parsing
rules and add it somehow to the basic tokens, which  would be very
time consuming.

So feel free to add it if you add full position info.
