The problem is that a function like compileShader would look like this:

var compileShader(source){
   var shader = gl.createShader(gl.VERTEX_SHADER);
   gl.shaderSource(shader, source);
   gl.compileShader(shader);
   if(!gl.getShaderParameter(GL_COMPILE_STATUS)){
     var error = glGetShaderInfoLog(shader);
     // now what?

     // need file of source

     // need lines # of source

   }
}

And you'd do things like:

var source = """
   void main(){
      #{someSnippet}
      gl_FragColor = whatever;
   }
"""
compileShader(source);

I don't see how source maps help either.
