Again, in this example the compiler does provide context that 
assert fails at line 11. Function bodies are compiled at a later 
stage and it doesn't make sense to compile them if top level 
declarations failed to compile, if `doesntexist` only failed to 
compile and its every usage is reported as an error, it will be a 
very big amount of errors, which isn't helpful.
