Thats Why I posted it to pastebin instead of commiting it, it was to
clarify the idea for a solution.

I don't think that this might work with the current structure of the
macro parsing system, as far as I understood the code it handles the
macros in a lookup table name->code. This does not work for __LINE__
because its not a one to one matching.

Me neither, vacation is about to start... But if the bug still exists
when I'm back I try to search for a solution.
