 I realize that my suggestion was perhaps too demanding for a language
 compiler, but giving precise descriptions of error-conditions in
 compilers and other programs is a great blessing for users, and makes
 them more happy with the software, from my experience.
 
 Anyway, I'm happy if I was of assistance. I look forward to more
 cooperation in the future.
