Re: Look up error position by character number?

['Jon' via BBEdit Talk]

I just got the solution via Twitter:
Certainly - you can specify line *and* character offset. Using zero for the 
line number will interpret just the character offset.

So, in the "Go To Line" panel or popover, enter (for example): "0:42807".

Look up error position by character number?

['Jon' via BBEdit Talk]

Is there some way one can go to a given character position number in a 
file, similar to going to line number so-and-so?
I'm playing with a new programming language Janet, and when Janet detects a 
bug or problem, it indicates the location by a character position range, 
like here:

error: expected number, got array

  in _thunk [eval] (tailcall) at (1:9)

  in eval1 [core.janet] at (42807:42820)

  in run-context [core.janet] at (43244:43269)

  in eval-string [core.janet] at (43892:44459)

  in _thunk [repl] (tailcall) at (58:82)
