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 "
