Although such a thing would be nice at first sight, it is also nearly impossible and actually not so nice if you think about it*.

Same errors can be produced in all kinds of different situations and thus 'a' solution will never be 'the' solution.

Even in the case of such a simple thing as a missing parenthesis, the given solution might be waaay off from the true fix.


* You could think it would be nice for beginning programmers.

But actually since the solutions would be in many cases wrong anyways, beginning programmers would be even more confussed, teached the wrong thing, etc...

* For more experienced programmers, the solutions given would be useless as they would know what to fix.

You can alter the lines in the translation files yourself to make a distinction between them.

(in fact, in the Dutch translation, a nice prefix (same prefix for all though) is given to all Plus!-produced debugging messages so you can easly see if the line is added by Plus! or by a Debug.Trace() command)
