Hey 🙂

Is there a `@show_code` yet?

e.g.:

```julia
julia> @show_code sqrt(1+1)
sqrt(1+1) in Main at REPL[10]:1

```

In file.jl

```julia
1:
2:@show_code sqrt(1+1)
3:

```

after running returns:  
`sqrt(1+1) in file.jl:2`

So I can do:  
In file.jl

```julia
1:
2:@time @show_code sqrt(1+1)
3:

```

after running returns:

```julia
 sqrt(1+1) in file.jl:2`
 0.000000 seconds

```

You can use `@code_string` from [`CodeTracking.jl`](https://github.com/timholy/CodeTracking.jl).

Oh that’s also cool, but goes one level to deep for me. I what something more like the written code + line number + File

In file.jl

```julia
1:
2:@show_code sqrt(1+1)
3:

```

after running returns:  
`sqrt(1+1) in file.jl:2`
