Is it possible to extend the source file recording offered by SBCL? In particular, I am interested in recording (and then using) source file locations for program constructs that I develop (other than functions, variables and types).

In Allegro, it's possible to record source file information for arbitrary sorts of things, using a function that takes a type-of-entity argument, making source file recording (and recovery) extensible in a way that is similar to the way documentation can be extended by adding new documentation types.

Thanks!

I hesitate to reply and reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of the list, but I would dearly love this capability.  (Would also be interested in off-list direct replies if there's something better than hu.dwim.walker for building a compiler that can tell the user where any errors might originate.)

Thanks in advance,
