bug? outdated exception message text?

[jon]

Using SVN 724.
Question.. should this error message say "expecting (set! target
val)" ?

(def *v1*)
(binding [*v1* 99]
(set! *v1* 98 97))

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed assignment, expecting (=
target val)
at clojure.lang.Compiler$AssignExpr$Parser.parse(Compiler.java:353)
at clojure.lang.Compiler.analyzeSeq(Compiler.java:3239)
... 31 more

Thanks, Jon

Hi Rich..
Is this another small inaccuracy that I've noticed?

I'm guessing it's because clojure.lang.RT.init() loads all 5 .clj's,
but only sets up boot.clj as the 'source' that the following exception
seems to imply that (startparse-sax ...) is defined in boot.clj rather
than xml.clj.

user=> (xml/startparse-sax 1 2)

Fixed - thanks for the report.

BTW, I'm aware of the line numbers still being off when the problem is
in a macro call (you get the file of the call, but the line of the
macro source, usually boot.clj).
