Code objects already have a instruction pointer => line number mapping
table: the code.co_lnotab field. It's documented at:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Objects/lnotab_notes.txt

This table is built from the line number information of the AST tree.

The mapping table is optimized to be small. Before Python 3.5, line
number had to be monotonic. Since Python 3.6, you "move" instructions
at the AST level, and so have "non-monotonic" line numbers (ex: line
1, line 3, line 2, line 4).
