The CModel cannot help you with things that are beyond its scope
(i.e. empty lines within a function body, which it has no bearing
upon).

If you have getStartLine() & getEndLine() for an IFunction (or similar)
object, you should be able to figure this out.

Its purely a memory vs. runtime performance issue.
If it turns out that most parser clients are require line number
information then it can be integrated into the AST/tokens to benefit
performance at the cost of memory.
In any case, the infrastructure is available to implement a solution for
1.2 if someone wishes.
