Hi,
Currently, syntax error messages like ``bash: syntax error near
unexpected token `;'``, e.g. after issuing `echo a &; echo b &; echo c
&;` aren't as helpful as they could be. It'd be nice to know at which
column, i.e. which `;`, the message refers to by adding the column to
the error message, e.g. ``bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
(col. y)``.
