Subject: | Is there a reason why iinvalid-read-syntax doesn't give me the location of the error? |

Sometimes I encounter huge generated elisp list data which has a problem somewhere. So when I evaluate it I get the error: Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax ". in wrong context") I wonder why the error message doesn't give me the location of the error like scan-error. I have to bisect the file to find the bad part. Doesn't invalid-read-syntax have the location where it encountered the error? If it does then why doesn't it print it like scan-error?
