Incode Detailed error message #1104

What change would like to see?
Have the error message point to the actually error spot in the code, not just 
highlight the line in orange. Have a red message like "<== ERROR: insert ';' 
here" or "ERROR: please include 'Arduino.h' here"     

Why?
Im sure like most when your working on a long code, you get errors when the 
code is compiling. These errors show in the black box at the bottem and they 
give a brief line of text, saying like "expected ';' before 'so and so' or 
"test_program:45:error: expected ';' before 'so and so'". 

Now when you see this error, it says the line number but if you have multiple 
codes on a line, it can get confusing. Also the line number in the ERROR 
message does not match the line number shown in the bottem left corner.

Would this cause any incompatibilities with previous versions?  If so, how
can these be mitigated?

I dont think it will have any problems with the older versions.
