:mrdocs:

Return the current line number within the input stream. The current line is the last line for which the reader has not yet seen a newline. Lines are counted starting at one from the time a stream is provide to `open`. Return 0 if not available. Note that a derived‐class implementation is not required to count lines and may just return 0.
