Error highlighter doesn't highlight line specified in error message.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When creating a table with a syntax error, the highlighter incorrectly 
highlighted line 3 when the error message specified the error was on line 10.

In the screenshot, you can see that the error lies with the trailing comma on 
line 9, so the paren on line 10 produces the error.  However, the paren on line 
3 is the one highlighted.

Hi there,

The only information we get back about the error is the message you see 
displayed below (and the error number, but that's less useful!); we then 
attempt to match that in the string.  As you've seen, this can be inaccurate 
for every short error "near" messages.

Perhaps it'd be better not to show the position if there's multiple 
occurrences, to reduce confusion, instead selecting the entire string.  Would 
you prefer that?

Of course there is the line number!  Not sure how I missed that, we should be 
able to parse that out as well; further updates will occur on #1152.
