Description
This can include showing context in the source string. Also, currently certain details of the source string are lost. For example, for a number which in the source is "001.00" we'd show the source value as "1.0" in error messages.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating where compilation errors are constructed and how source strings are parsed or represented; reproduce the "001.00" example and inspect the current diagnostic output. Done means errors include useful source context and preserve the relevant source spelling.
