Store string number where node is defined

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Product number: YAML-CPP 0.5.1, GCC 4.8.1

1. I've implemented YAML::convert< my_own_structure >::decode(...). First step 
is structure validation, next is parsing.
2. During validation I'm using { return false; } if YAML structure is 
unaccepted for me. This stops parsing and YAML-CPP generated error message is 
returned. This error message does not contain any information about place of 
error.
It's very difficult to find mistake in large YAML structure.

I believe the best way for error-reporting is to print call stack and line 
number where { return false; } happens first.
For example:
"Invalid node 'my_task'.'options'.'datetime'.'date' at line 86"
But implementation of such feature may spend a lot of time.

To my opinion the simplest way is to print line where invalid node placed and 
allow user (me) to get this line number.

Yeah, this is a good idea. I think there's a related issue somewhere.
