It was a template parameter before anyway. Also, this is for 
acceptance/feature/integration testing, so I doubt anyone would 
care how much bloat it generates as long as it gets the job done.

Is there any other way to achieve @Given("regexp") that also gets 
passed in the line number automatically without the template 
param? If so I'll glady use it, if not I think Rikki's solution 
seems to be the simplest so far.
