>It's the problem with classical stage-oriented compilers. A compiler designed for diagnostics from the beginning

I'm not sure any compiler, even one "designed for diagnostics," can gather the "necessary metadata" from inside my brain based on my original intentions. If the compiler could unambiguously interpret what I meant to write, it wouldn't have needed to fail with a compilation error in the first place. Whenever I see something like "perhaps" or "maybe" in a compilation error, the information just didn't exist anywhere the compiler could possibly get to, and it's just a suggestion based on common mistakes.
