When translate fail, lentic should pop a warn buffer #13

When translate fail, lentic should pop a warn buffer which can tell user the position of the problem.

Tried that and it's really very painful. The problem is that lentic works after every command, so if, for example, you write

\begin{code}

using the latex transformation, you would get a warning till you have added.

\end{code}

Currently, lentic just falls back to the identity transformation till you type \end{code} and then the problem just goes away. I have added a "Invalid" warning in the mode line.

maybe we can use :

(setq header-line-format "Warn information")

That's not a bad idea. It would be a bit more obvious than the mode line, but not too intrusive. I'll investigate.
