I'm kind of creeping on it now, mostly looking at symbol table code to
get an idea of what to change. From the user point of view, it seems
pretty natural to extend the source-and-line concept to be
program-and-source-and-line with lots of defaulting, just as line number
alone has an implicit source file.

My chicken scratchings on paper tend to encourage the introduction of a
fully general many-to-many mapping between inferior processes and
objfiles, but I don't yet know if that is overly ambitious for this
round of hackery.
