Yes indeed, that's the intention.
Part of this this feature is already implemented: PovClipse nags about any
word which is not a known POV or MegaPOV keyword, the name of a declared
variable or macro.
The next step would be the **syntactical** errors, but for this I need a
grammar definition to be used with ANTLR or similar tool, and this is what
this thread is all about.
