When `xref-location-line' returns non-nil (a number), the summary
is implied to be the contents of a file or buffer line containing
the location. When multiple locations in a row report the same
line, in the same group (corresponding to the case of multiple
locations on one line), the summaries are concatenated in the
Xref output buffer. Consequently, any code that creates xref
values should take care to slice the summary values when several
locations point to the same line.
