[issue24869] shlex lineno inaccurate with certain inputs

[Gareth Rees]

Gareth Rees added the comment:

A third alternative:

3. Add a method whose effect is to consume comments and whitespace, but which does not yield a token. You could then call this method, and then look at shlex.lineno, which will be the line number of the first character of the next token (if there is a next token).
