I also concur with Guido here. I have played around with other languages and I dislike getting a long list of expected tokens, that are not helpful, if not actually confusing sometimes.

I think that the current generic SyntaxError description together with the error caret actually does a good job of directing someone to close where the error is, without providing too much information that might be misleading.
