[2.0] debugging template

[virtualeyes]

This is not helping me:
"Exception: Compilation error [`identifier' expected but `"' found]"

No line number, no code snippet.

When strongly typed template IDE support comes along, 2 second
template fixes will be the norm.

Blindly snipping out code blocks to find the error is not...a great
way to spend one's time....

Indeed.  I assume you are using Play to write a REST API, and so you interact with it entirely via the console, and never visit it directly in the browser?  2.1 fixes this, not only do you get a line number and column number, you get the line of code printed with a carat under the column.  The work around in 2.0 is to hit the play app in your web browser, where it should give you the line of code, a few lines of context, and the error highlighted.
