I was about to take back the scan+change and suggest the relocated
thing (I had a vague memory of something relevant, and took a while to
reconstruct) -- but I'm not sure that it will work.

You'll need to grab the source information from the string, and use
that to do the relocation.  This will require one hack, where you'd
distinguish Scheme strings from at-exp strings, since the latter
includes the quotation marks -- or better than that, just forbid
Scheme strings.  But things will also not work right when the string
contents is not in direct correspondence with the source, like when
you have escapes, or in the at-exp case, when you have an indented
body.  So maybe the scan+change is unavoidable, or implement a custom
port that can change locations information dynamically.
