This idea is good but as you note in your README, the implementation has 
issues.  To be most useful, it needs to be part of the mainline Elm 
distribution.  All the options are not necessary.  Simply output the full 
pathname, line number and column number on one line in the same format as 
this package is doing and then many different editors could process it. 
 Error formats for translators should not be produced by 3rd-party plugins 
if you hope to have them utilized by many users of the translator.

This is great and what is needed.  Why not have the capability be a 
standard part of Elm?

To everyone who wanted to have the elm-compiler produce line numbers and 
column numbers that can help a traditional editor (like emacs for example) 
to navigate to error locations:  I discussed this a bit with Evan, and he 
suggested working with the json output, so then I came up with this 
solution for now:

Please see: http://github.com/aklaing/call-elm-make

Let me know if you find this helpful, especially you're not an emacs user 
:-)

Thanks,

Ambrose
