Substitution for illegal variable error message

Is there a chance that some information could be added to the “substitution for illegal variable” error message”? From what I’ve found it says nothing about what variable or what input line, which makes it somewhat harder to debug than it needs to be. Either of those would help.

              thanks,

​would something like this change help?

Yes, I think that would be great.
