Right now, there is pig.alias, which is super useful. It has one shortcoming, however... often, users will reuse relation names at many points in a script, so when you go to a dying MR job and see pig.alias = grouped, group_all, grouped_regrouped, it doesn't tell you much. However, if it told you the line of the relation, you could more easily go to there.
