It really didn't add much of any useful value, likely because one line 
of source code all by itself just doesn't give enough context. And yes, 
people do use IDEs or editors that parse the error message and put the 
cursor on the correct line, which is far more useful.

One annoying problem with it is each error consumes 3 lines instead of 
one, and stuff you wanted to see got scrolled off the top of the window.

It's still in the DMC C and C++ compiler, try it out. I just didn't 
implement it for the D compiler.
