Just to note, cpp encodes this information in a different format:
#line integer-constant "filename"

Maybe we should keep the same format and have this directive:

`line integer "filename"

On the subject of preprocessor directives, things missing from the
verilog preprocessor that are present in cpp include:
#if - check value - not existance if definition
#elif - else if chain (removes endif endif endif...)

Maybe we should include the last three directives missing for completeness.
