The dyn arithmetic and ordering entry points printed their sentence with no
file, no line and no column, which in a dynamic-first language is the type
error arriving from nowhere. flan_rt.c's bounds and arithmetic traps have
taken an emitter-threaded (loc, loclen) pair since they were written, and
[flan_dyn_cast_kind] is the fresh precedent on the dyn side; this is the same
pair, threaded through [arith], [want_nums] and [order] to the five
arithmetic and four ordering entry points. [eq] never traps and takes none.
The three trap printers take the pair and print nothing for a NULL loc, so
every other call site in the file — and test/dyn_ops.c, which calls the
runtime directly and has no source position — keeps its sentence byte for
byte. [trap_oom] is left alone: it is reached from [gc_alloc], which has no
site to be given and would have had to grow one on every allocation path in
the file for no reader's benefit.
