 I propose to add a data representation of GHC's errors to the API.  This
 would facilitate external machine-processing of error messages and allow
 for internationalization of error messages, if this is desirable.

 I'm writing an error message parser, but it seems like exporting an ADT
 representation of the errors would be less error-prone.
