A "source" object represents a source S-expression tagged with location information.  A source object has a source "code" (extracted with the ##source-code procedure) and a source "location" (extracted with the ##source-locat procedure).  The reader (the read procedure) can be configured to return a source object for the datum that is read rather that the usual representation.  For an example, see the end of this message:
