I manually edit my .gnus file to control mail splitting by
for example, inserting a line such as
("club_sqa" ""^Cc: \"vi whinges\" <emacs-discuss@microsfoft.com>")
which is unfortunate, because it generates error messages such as
Signaling: (error "Error in ~/.gnus: (end-of-file)")
signal(error ("Error in ~/.gnus: (end-of-file)"))
error("Error in %s: %s" "~/.gnus" (end-of-file))
gnus-read-init-file()
gnus-1(nil nil nil)
gnus()
command-line-1(("-f" "gnus"))
command-line()
normal-top-level()
because I accidently put in an extra " before the
"^Cc:
What I would like instead is an error message such as
Error in ~/.gnus: line 43 missmatched "
squid.

This is hard to do, since newlines are allows in strings in Emacs
Lisp. That is, the following is a valid Lisp statement:
(setq x "this
string
contains
multiple
lines")
