zs (developer)

The problem is NOT we generate the line that the error message is for.
The problem is that vfm2.m knows that fio is a dummy type, and makes
the return type of vfm2__printline_2_f_0 void accordingly, even though it keeps
the definition of fio(T) *private*. This means that fio is NOT known to be a dummy
type anywhere but inside the vfm2 module.

We will need to split the concept of "dummy type" into two: dummy types
that are known to be dummy everywhere, and those known to be dummy
only in their defining module.
