Subject: indent-for-tab-command error messages could mention line numbers
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2014 02:36:33 +0800

TAB (translated from <tab>) runs the command indent-for-tab-command,

Its messages,
forward-sexp: Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses", 1970, 1
would be improved if they could also mention line numbers and not just
apparently byte numbers. E.g.,
Unbalanced parentheses at line 34 column 33.
