My take on this is that the linespec was accepted before, and now
it is going to generate an error. What Keith highlighted was the fact
that the line number portion is currently ignored, which is definitely
a bug. I don't mind if we preserve the bug of ignoring the line number,
but I am a little less comfortable with error-ing out.

I don't mind if we create a temporary regression in that linespec
if that makes things easier. But it would be nice to be able to
not let it linger too long. I am hoping to have some time to look
at this maybe mid-April.
