The C# compiler too show those column number. But last time Walter has 
explained that to do this, the compiler has to keep more data (all those line 
numbers), so this may slow down the compilation a little. And of course 
currently this information is not present, so it probably requires a good 
amount of changes to be implemented. The slowdown problem may be solved as in 
GCC, adding a compilation switch that gives/removes the column number (it uses 
to be switched off on default, now after the competition by Clang it's switched 
on on default).
