Getting file names on stack traces.

[Benjamin Sieffert]

Hi Greg,

I've also tried to do this, but (without looking into it very extensively)
didn't find a way other than to build a second string that wraps the first
one like this:

String scriptWithFileName = "load("
    // will be shown as scriptname in stacktraces
    + "{ name: \"" + name + '"' + ','
    // the actual script
    + "script:" + escapeJavaScript(script) + '"'
    + '}'
    + ')';

It's working as intended and doesn't seem to have any unwanted
side-effects, but of course it would be nice to be able to do this more
cleanly from Java. I guess there's the possibility of calling the
load-extension somewhere, but it doesn't seem to be public (Java) API.

Hope this helps
