[issue1708] improvements for linecache

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

I am indeed going to close this.  The patch isn't complete, since there's the line ending issue Antoine pointed out, which implies that there are also some missing tests.  

I doubt that linecache performance is something that affects very many people, but if someday someone wants to pick this up and finish it, it sounds like there's no objection in principle to the change.
