I think this is probably more along the lines of what he wants, but is
the above going to work correctly if there are multiple lines of
Scheme code?  For example:

   [This is an example ]
   (do-something (foo) (bar))
   (let ((baz bax))
     (do-something-else baz)
     (more-stuff baz)
     (and-even-more baz))
   [ ...with several lines of embedded Scheme code. ]

If I'm guesssing correctly about how scm_set_source_property_x works
(I haven't used it), then it seems like it might be a lot of work to
turn the above lines of Scheme code into a properly filename, line
(and column?) annotated set of forms.

If so, then I wondered if it might be possible to just implement the
function mentioned originally
i.e. ag_scm_c_eval_string_from_file_line, and here's what I came up
with.  Note that I have no idea if this will actually work; I haven't
tested it, and I don't know the semantics of the port related
filename, line, and column bits offhand.

  (define (eval-port port)
    ;; See strports.c inner_eval_string for similar code.
    (let loop ((next-form (read port))
               (any-read? #f)
               (result #f))
      (if (eof-object? next-form)
          (if any-read? result)
          (loop (read port)
                #t
                (primitive-eval next-form)))))

  (define (eval-string-from-file str filename line column)
    (call-with-input-string str
        (lambda (port)
          (set-port-filename! port filename)
          (set-port-line! port line)
          (set-port-column! port column)
          (eval-port port))))
