Description

I realize the Django debug UI will show line numbers when DEBUG = True, and that's great. But what about when you are writing a test and your code raises an uncaught TemplateSyntaxError? In this case, it would be really nice if the TemplateSyntaxError's message would show the line number directly in the stack trace.

In b53b4d5:

Fixed #25404 -- Added line numbers to TemplateSyntaxError strings.

This makes it much easier to diagnose a test failure when all
you have is the stack trace from an uncaught TemplateSyntaxError.
