compiler errors when loading a script

[Ingo60]

I am getting unexplainable compiler errors:

frege> :load https://raw.github.com/Frege/frege/master/frege/data/NanoParsec.fr
unexpected ';' while trying to parse declarations local to a
class, instance or type
unexpected ';' while trying to parse declarations local to a
class, instance or type
unexpected ';' while trying to parse declarations local to a
class, instance or type

With other modules, the :load works just fine, though. So I wonder where the problem may be? It looks like indentation is slightly changed somewhere, but where?

It should atleast print the line number on the error messages. I will take
a look in the evening.

It looks like a where followed by --- is not correctly handled by the interpreter.

Here is the simplified version of the problem:

frege> :{
> module hello.Foo where
> --- Test
> bar = "bar"
> :}
2: unexpected ';' while trying to parse a package

But this works:

frege> :{
> module hello.Foo where
> -- Test
> bar = "bar"
> :}
Module hello.Foo

I have fixed the line numbers to be displayed on error messages in the REPL.
The errors from NanoParsec.fr are actually on lines 14, 45 and 49. if we change --- to -- on those lines then it works.

I also tried the same code in Eclipse where it doesn't have any problems so there is some difference between the REPL and the compiler code. I will look into this more tomorrow.

I tried changing --- to {-- but it doesn't like that either.

By the way, this shows nicely that you need to reverse the error messages when you display them in the REPL. :)

I have fixed this issue and deployed a new version of REPL. The error messages should also now appear in correct order.
