I've talked before about XML error messages. I'd actually like
them to literally be xml, but even if they aren't the same
principle works - pack the error messages with a lot of metadata
when they are generated, then trim that at a higher level to make
it more presentable (ideally, that higher level may be the ide,
but for a console run the compiler might have to do it).
