Summary

Previously, we would print the error name and location, but this isn't as
helpful as we can be. Let's add a hint that shows the location where we
encountered the parse error.

We should add a test about templates that contain newlines - it's probably Hard, so feel free to just not be helpful with newline-containing templates for now?

I like similar things in rust too. I am +1 on this.

Perhaps this pos + 1 is the reason why the error location is sometimes wrong.
I'll send a follow up.
