Just to offer a counterpoint, I rarely care about correspondance between 
line numbers in Smarty templates and the resulting PHP files.  Yes, it 
would be convenient but there have only been very rare occasions where I 
had to dig into the generated PHP to understand a problem.  Many Smarty 
issues are caught during the compile phase, and it will tell me the 
exact line in the template where the failure is.  I very rarely have 
problems beyond that.  Most of my Smarty work has been on a single 
application which is about 13.5K lines of .tpl files.
