nice time-saver.  Is it clang that displays the line in error with a carat
underneath the error?  Though if there really isn't an efficient way to do
it in DMD then I don't think it's worthwhile.  I was only thinking of the
parser when I mentioned the beginning-of-line pointer.  I hadn't considered
the AST.

GCC has a carat too now.
