Ahhh. LINE does? Oh.

- GENERATED works on an expression based level, and can specify  
specific spans.
   (20:4 - 21:8, for example).
  - GENERATED is a true pragma; it hints where things come from, but  
does not change
   the error message. I want the Haskell source spans to remain  
unchanges.

But perhaps a variant of LINE would be a better name.
