Issue ID: 15597
Summary: error messages in mixins should show context
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd

We need to find a better way of giving errors from mixins.
For instance:
icomponent.d-mixin-48(55): Error: found '<' when expecting ')'
This tells me nothing, and to proceed I need to start adding pragma(msg, ...)
in strategic places to try and discover what I'm actually dealing with.
Suggest:
Errors in mixins print a context to the error output, that is, the line of text
the compiler is trying to compile, and perhaps even 1-2 lines before/after the
context line if they look interesting.
