*shrug* I've been adding them as needed. I knew I needed the debug_line
table, but I've been mostly adding that stuff as I need it to fix something
else. Right now I think we're only going to ultimately need a couple of
them so just adding them as fields sounds fine.

Oh sorry :)

That's pretty much correct, I don't really need to dump the line tables at
the moment, but it shouldn't be too long if you're not in any hurry.
