Research direction

Start by reproducing BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE(__LINE__) on MSVC and tracing the BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE preprocessor entry point in this module. Compare its expansion with the expected line number and review the existing 20-comment discussion for constraints. Done means the expression expands to the numeric source line on MSVC without regressing other supported compilers.
