(read-enable 'positions) will get the reader to start tracking file
positions, but I don't know offhand how to get access to that
information.

I use it in my .guile file as part of turning on full debugging:

  (use-modules (ice-9 readline))
  (activate-readline)
  (debug-enable 'backtrace)
  (debug-enable 'debug)
  (read-enable 'positions)
