Description

This will be a fairly niche case, because in most cases, you can only display source code when showing crash logs on the machine they were compiled AND run on. But it should be fairly easy to implement when everything is in place. It might already just work. The only extra needed might be passthrough of some SWIFT_BACKTRACE settings in the swift-symbolicate executable. Also check it works in library usage.

Research direction

Start with the swift-symbolicate executable and the library symbolication entry points. Check whether source is already emitted when the required information is available, then trace any SWIFT_BACKTRACE settings that need passthrough. Done means source output works where possible through both the executable and library usage.
