/**
 * A source file position consisting of a simple source file name, the
 * full path to the file, and a line number.
 *
 * 
 * Class Position is used by ScalaTest assertions, matchers,
 * and testing styles to provide locations for failures in test results.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The pathFilename should always end with the fileName, which
 * is the simple file name. For example, if the filePathname were "/Users/this/is/a/class/Act.scala",
 * the fileName would be "Act.scala".
 * 

 * 
 * 
 * Note: Class Position is in part inspired by the sourcecode library designed by Li Haoyi.
 * 
 *
 * @param fileName the simple name of a source file
 * @param filePathname the fully qualified pathname of the source file
 * @param lineNumber a line number inside the source file with the given filePathname and fileNamae
