This seems _fairly_ esoteric to me.  Why do you need it?

I can think of two uses for lnotab information: printing source lines
and locating source lines on the filesystem.  For both, I think I'd
rather see some kind of defined protocol (methods on the code object,
maybe?) rather than inventing some kind of insane
too-general-for-the-common-case data structure.

Cheers,
