Yes, that's typical for a program that's mostly data manipulation.

Did you try mzc? Sometimes it helps.

It means that no name could be inferred for the procedure, and the
procedure's source wasn't attached to any particular source location.

Usually, it means a procedure introduced by macro expansion, where the
macro was already compiled to bytecode. (In bytecode, source locations
are stripped from syntax constants.)
