Wow.  Drag.  How did that get changed?

Local stack files having a fileName had been a reliable part of the 
engine for more than 14 years.

The Player has no debugger.  For this reason it's absolutely critical 
that differences between its behavior and the IDE or any standalone be 
kept to an absolute minimum.

People will not use the Player if it introduces unexpected behaviors.
