I'm happy to accept patches improving the error messages. I don't
expect to spend time myself, in the near future, on this potentially
bottomless pit of work. :D
I definitely recognize that it is unconventional to print an entire
program subterm that is implicated in an error. It is probably even
often a bad idea.

I think the next goal for Ur/Web should be better error messages by
the compiler.
The current ones could be moved to a verbose option (-v for instance)
Current, it is very hard to read the errors that are given, unless one
already knows how the compiler works.
A good example of how bad the error messages can be is a 8000+ line
error log coming from one line of code. Which yes, I did have. The fix
was simply parenthesis.
Anyways... that's my lil` rant.
Anyone else have issues reading or even understand the errors? Other
than slimming them down, how else can they be improved?
