Description
If a method definition occurs inside a macro, or if one uses whereis(lineinfo, method) and lineinfo corresponds to lines added by a macro, CodeTracking relies on the information in the lineinfo annotation to know anything about the macro. If the macro definition has moved due to edits, this info is going to be wrong.

Research direction
Start by tracing how CodeTracking uses lineinfo annotations for methods defined inside macros and how whereis(lineinfo, method) resolves locations. Reproduce the case by moving a macro definition, then confirm that both method locations and lineinfo-based lookups remain correct after the edit.
