I'm not really all that sure whether this is something we want to
try to support with the current linespec syntax! IMO, the current
syntax seems OK and maybe even clever in its compactness, but in
the end, the efforts you and others have been putting into making
the parser work, lead me to believe that perhaps the future is
with more explicit identification of each part of the location
as you do here.
