It is my feeling that the most commonly made syntax errors
could be resolved correctly if the layout of the program would
have been taken in account. Most compilers throw away the
layout of a program when the source is tokenized, and by
this ignore important information that has been provided
by the programmer.

Could it be possible to improve gcc by including layout
information. Possibly this should be activated by a switch
indicating the style that is being used.
(I think it can be done by some simple bookkeeping, remembering
at which position the last '{' and '(' appeared, and correcting
this with information about the position of the `if', `do', `while'
and `for' keywords. This information can be used to determine what
should be done in case of a syntax error.)
