Well, since both are pretty much impossible, I think that it's a moot point. I 
can believe that someone would know the compiler well enough to know what it was 
going to do in most situations and that they would have some idea as to what the 
error message would be, but if you want them to be at all precise, that just 
takes too much detail for anyone to remember. If they could do that, they'd be 
an insanely good programmer.
