Yes.

This is one reason I would like to be able to have traceback
objects without a corresponding frame. Having to create an
entire frame just to have somewhere to put the file name is
very annoying.

Also, being able to remove the whole frame from a traceback
object seems like a cleaner and more complete way to implement
what the OP wanted.
