 Priority:  minor        |   Milestone:  wishlist
Component:  Augeas       |     Version:  0.3.0

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Right now, when Augeas fails to parse a file, it provides an error like



   augtool -r $AUGEAS_ROOT print /augeas/files/etc/hosts
      /augeas/files/etc/hosts
      /augeas/files/etc/hosts/path = "/files/etc/hosts"
      /augeas/files/etc/hosts/lens
      /augeas/files/etc/hosts/lens/info =
 "/usr/share/augeas/lenses/hosts.aug:18.12-.34"
      /augeas/files/etc/hosts/lens/id = "0x806f190"
      /augeas/files/etc/hosts/error = "parse_failed"
      /augeas/files/etc/hosts/error/pos = "434"
      /augeas/files/etc/hosts/error/message = "Short iteration"


 It would be useful to have an error report like the one given by augparse,
 listing:
 * the character in the string where augeas failed to parse
 * the tree generated so far
