Perhaps you misread my comment, but I do NOT think we agree. I want to close the bug as Won't Fix for the reasons I've outlined. Again, briefly: (1) in all cases, it offers no additional useful information; (2) in some cases, it complicates the lexer/parser in that it has to continue to lex/parse after the error is encountered in order to find the end line/column -- and in some cases, for example, a token that is 400MB long, it may not come for a while and exhaust memory.
