[plt-scheme] parser-tools

There's the following note in docs:

NOTE: Since the lexer gets its source information from the port, use
port-count-lines! to enable the tracking of line and column information.
Otherwise the line and column information will return #f.


The lexer gets the line and column information directly from the  
port.  By default the port doesn't keep track of this information  
(presumably for efficiency reasons).  If you call port-count-lines!  
on the port before lexing it, then you should get the information you  
want.  See 11.2.1.1 of the MzScheme manual.
