Thanks for incorporating this.  Your implementation, not suprisingly, 
fixes a number of the open gaps in my first attempt.  There's one area 
that you didn't incorporate from what I'd one that I'd like you to 
consider folding in:

--------------------

I'm not sure why the linnum and filename fields were private to begin 
with.  If they're going to be member variables they should be public so 
others can see them.  As they are, nothing can use them so they might as 
well not be member variables at all.

So, if they become public, the msg field ought to be exposed as well.

My unit tests for the feature try to compare msg to make sure it was 
passed through correctly.  For the moment, I've disabled those tests and 
the rest pass.

Thanks,
Brad
