Unfortunately, this method is not robust enough. If some part of the line in question matches the same pattern ":(%d+):", it will be captured instead.You can provide your own name for the chunk (easier in Lua 5.2 but doable in 5.1). Just choose a name that does not contain that pattern.
Yes, this is an option (and I thought about that).It'd be however much better if those functions returned the line number as their 3-rd return value. Then all the trickery wouldn't be necessary.
