Well...because it's *VERY* useful.  The SPLash! compiler has always had
the option of putting line numbers into the object code ... not the
measly procedure-relative statement numbers that Pascal does :)

With embedded line numbers, you can trivially locate source code while
looking at a Debug nmP window.  No fussing with listings (paper or
virtual).

But...back to Lee's question.  I, too, thought there was a mechanism
to get procedure-relative statement numbers into the C generated
object code...but I can't remember it, or find it.
