Comment 1:

The first error is that you are missing the ()'s of the main function, which is properly
messaged at the right place. Once you fix this, the next error is correctly on line 5 as
desired.
Please comment (object) or close as invalid.

Comment 2:

Gah, can't type. :/
Sorry, more like this: http://play.golang.org/p/oQdKp7KQ1P
I would expect the gofmt error on line 52, not 51 (the go call)

Comment 3:

I'm getting an import error suggesting that syntactically this is correct... - please
update once more :-)

Comment 4:

Never mind, I see the problem.

Comment 5:

Even after commenting out the imports: http://play.golang.org/p/nkpjCROcTK
I get the error message on line 52 as desired. It could be better perhaps. Is that what
you are complaining about?

Comment 6:

You don't have to hit "RUN" in the playground.  Just hit "Format" or run gofmt.
I expect the error message to be about the line containing BOGUS_NAME_HERE, not the line
before it.

Comment 7:

One problem is that the playground (format) only reports the first error here. If
gofmt'ed explicitly, the error messages are:
x.go:51:6: expected function/method call
x.go:52:70: expected ')', found 'func'
x.go:62:5: expected statement, found ')'
x.go:72:3: expected '}', found 'EOF'
The 2nd error is what you'd expect (more or less). Error messages are reported in sorted
order, so even though the 2nd error is actually the first error encountered during
parsing, the error on line 51 comes first (and is caused by the 2nd and its follow-up
errors).
The parser could be smarter about what to report (if anything) for line 51 in this case.

Labels changed: added release-go1.3maybe.
