You can store the toplevel-form number instead (i.e. how many toplevel
forms have been READ so far.) This is what SBCL (and CMUCL) base their
source locations on, as the tlf-number is somewhat less prune to change.

There's code already in SWANK (Slime's backend) to convert a tlf-number
to a file position that can be sent to Emacs such that M-. (jump to
definition) will do the right thing.
