I've already made a note about this eval behaviour, in fact, in a slightly
different context (see the option tests I just added).  The original idea
was that eval'd code should show the line of the eval, not that of the
place where the eval was, but it has this side effect of suppressing proper
line numbering in functions within the eval.

I'm sure somebody will look at this eventually.  It's a question of the
availabliity of stamina and moral fibre.
