Thanks Jeremy for clarifying.

I've since resolved the problem by writing a log filter tool which
intercepts all the root-level 'Considering: ...' log entries, looks up the
raw expansion expressions in the (post-preprocessing) config, then patches
in the lvalue names and config line numbers just above them.

Cheers
David
