No, it could just be that the procedure is especially complicated or
interesting, and you want to add some explanation or reference at that
exact place in the text.

It could also be that you have several pieces of code, in different
parts of the program, with some common purpose or context, and you
want them together in the printed document.

(But I don't see a need for keeping track of individual line numbers.)
