    Description

      So far location tracking gives us source file, line num and col num, which is fine.

      But historically, Maven2 had only parent POMs, Maven3 introduced import POMs, while Maven4 will have things like XInclude as well.

      It would be great if we could enhance location with 4th element: "why (or how) did this element end up here". Was it from current POM, from parent maybe? From import-pom? Or was it XIncluded?
