It was one example, other modules use the information.
For example, some on the future/current work on the debugger:
- BreakpointValidation, trying to set a breakpoint on non-statement i.e #include
  empty lines .. etc..
- Run/Jump to line, validation.  Run to line should only be enable for
  line whitin the stackframe, outside it is undefine behaviour
