byte-compile warning position on certain .el

[Kevin Ryde]

Using my own build of a recent cvs, or the debian packaged snapshot
2007-03-02, when byte-compiling the "dictionary" package

        http://www.myrkr.in-berlin.de/dictionary/dictionary-1.8.7.tar.gz

with

        tar xfz dictionary-1.8.7.tar.gz
        cd dictionary-1.8.7
        emacs -Q
        M-: (add-to-list 'load-path ".")
        M-x byte-compile-file dictionary.el

a warning in the *Compile-Log* buffer is given

  dictionary.el:1231:43:Warning: `make-variable-buffer-local' should be called
              at toplevel

but that line/column position is the "nil" of a form

                   (set-extent-property dictionary-balloon-help-extent
                                'end-open nil)

whereas I think the warning refers to line 1206 (commenting out that
line out suppresses the warning, so I guess it's the offending bit),

        (make-variable-buffer-local 'dictionary-balloon-help-extent)


I'm not sure if the warning is valid -- it's in a conditionalized "(if
(progn ...))", which would seem close enough to top-level to me -- but
in any case I hoped that the line number reported would be 1206
instead of 1231.
