Unfortunately not all of the things are covered. For example: perl6 -e 'my $x = q:to/foo/; blah ' ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e Ending delimiter foo not found at -e:3 ------> <BOL>⏏<EOL> expecting any of: whitespace Then there's also: * https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/f62ae60c48d1372df18b49aca44e10af44ead2d6/src/Perl6 /Grammar.nqp#L3741 * https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/f62ae60c48d1372df18b49aca44e10af44ead2d6/src/Perl6/Grammar.nqp#L3780-L3792 * https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/f62ae60c48d1372df18b49aca44e10af44ead2d6/src/Perl6/Grammar.nqp#L3820-L3826 And maybe other things too. For example, nqp itself prints a similar error message and does not mention the starter. I don't know if any user will ever see the error message from NQP though. So there's a lot to be done to resolve this ticket fully… Oh, also! I did not remove “expecting any of:” part. This has to be done also.

It would be great to have the same "(corresponding < was > at line 1)"-like message as with multiline comments
