If this feature will not be wanted by anybody, why are we discussing its addition? I'm okay with adding the value you suggest if there will be some means for delineating the current error line, either automatically when the value t is in use or by an independent optional feature. > This is an option, a non-default option, one which nobody is forced to > use.

I understand, but I don't want us to introduce options that look like we didn't think them through.
