Your suggestion makes me shudder!
And fair enough too. I don't do this for me, I'm just suggesting an approach which might bring something to Antoon's objective.
Removing all earlier lines of code is often guaranteed to generate errors as variables you are using are not declared or initiated, modules are not imported and so on.
Antoon's interested in syntax errors.
Removing just the line or three where the previous error happened would also have a good chance of invalidating something.
Doubtless. He accepts that any such resume-the-parse can bring misleading error messages. Antoon is not expecting magic, just getting several complaints instead of just the first syntax error.
I must admit I sympathise a bit, as one of my own major irks is command line tools which moan about the first bad option instead of noting it and moving on to complain about other things as well, then quitting after the command line parse. Pure laziness a lot of the time IMO; I've done it myself, but do like to make multiple complaints when it's feasible.
