Good! I'd like to suggest a name alternative though

#defined_at

IMHO #location is very general and #defined_at better expresses what's
being returned (at least from what I gathered should be the semantics
of this method).  Usage would be

def foo(&b)
  file, line = b.defined_at
  $stderr.printf "calling block which was defined at %s:%d\n", file, line
  b.call
end

Kind regards
