D forces on the programmer the burden to end lines of code with a semicolon (unline Scala, Go and other language), this is supposed to offer better error messages. But if I forget a semicolon in this code:


import std.stdio;
void main() {
    writeln("hello ")
    /*
    ...
    */
    // ...
    writeln("world");
}


Using the -vcolumns dmd switch I receive this error message:

test.d(8,5): Error: found 'writeln' when expecting ';' following statement

In such cases I'd like the compiler to give an error message with line number and column number closer to where the semicolon should go, to help me fix the code faster:

test.d(3,21): Error: found 'writeln' when expecting ';' following statement
