Comment (by rhaas):

 Replying to [comment:10 sbrandt]:
 > CST_fatal is new with me, AFAIK. The existing facilities didn't abort
 immediately, which led to some strange additional error messages from the
 system that compares the results of the current parser to the old one. All
 it does is call CST_PrintErrors() and die.

 Oh true, sorry. I only looked at the author information in CSTUtils.pl and
 not at git-blame for the CST_fatal routine in that file. On top of that I
 apparently got confused when looking at the patch not realizing in which
 file things are defined. Ideally it should not abort on the very first
 syntax error but instead report all (or at least some number) of syntax
 errors before aborting (same as eg a compiler reports all errors in a
 source file and not only the first one, same as the runtime parameter file
 parser does).

 This is extra work and not totally trivial (in particular given that one
 has to recover from a faulty line of input) but I think is needed for a
 good error reporting.
