When IMCC encounters an unexpected identifier, it throws an error,
but it doesn't say what the unexpected identifier was. This is
painful for debugging compilers and should be fixed.

mini:~/Projects/parrot mdiep$ cat test.pir
.sub main :main
$I0 = $I1 - foo
end
.end

mini:~/Projects/parrot mdiep$ parrot test.pir
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected IDENTIFIER
in file 'test.pir' line 2
mini:~/Projects/parrot mdiep$

(forgot to cc list first time, you'll see this text twice in the ticket
history)

this issue seems to be resolved.

no reply was given on an earlier suggestion to close this ticket (i
probably forgot to cc the list)

I suggest to close this ticket.
