Yes, but as I said this doesn't really solve it at all. As I said, for long
discussions it still adds a lot of space and noise into the code, which makes
following the flow of the code extremely hard to do (at least for me
personally, and I suspect others).

Still annoying to have to manually go to the source files, and scroll down to
the right line. :-)

I guess it could be better if it was turned into a link?

This would indeed be a big improvement, especially if it has the ability to
expand up and down, like in the file diff view (which could also be improved
IMHO, clicking the number is not very intuitive at all...). :-)
