I'd also like to see the standard gnu way.

Not at all...

That may be the case but more importantly your fancy way of reporting error messages is not recognized by emacs' compilation-mode. ocaml's current way of reporting allows compilation-mode to perfectly hilight the span of the error in your source *without* having to tweak the `compilation-error-regexp-alist` variable. That's not the case of your format.

If something has to be changed I'd rather have the gnu standard way of reporting errors for ranges [1] which is both more compact and recognized by emacs' compilation-mode.

Best,

Daniel
