That sometimes is the case, depending on the error/omission. However, in
my case the error is reported on a line number -before- the actual line
number I found it on. I understand that compile/parse-time errors do not
provide a lot of accuracy... I'm just trying to understand a little
better how it generally preprocesses the file.
