Comment (by rhaas):
Correct. It would give those error messages at the end. Not much one can do about this if one does not want to introduce a tokenization stage that would record for each token which line and column it started. That would be great but likely quite a bit of work I think. If you have a look at the code you can see that there already are two stages one is "slurp file into buffer" and the second one is "parse buffer".
It is getting very technical though and rather than trying to convince everyone of my idea, I think it may be simpler to just leave things as the are right now ie. only allow line continuation at the end of pieces recognized by the grammar.
