i'd say try an example or two, remove brackets, and see how it responds.
there's a slightly massaged version, but what's thrown up from antlr is
kinda rough for the young'uns.

Will reopen if given complete example program text.

void setup()
size(200, 200);
line(20, 20, 80, 80);
}
produces "unexpected token: size"

void setup() {
size(200, 200);
line(20, 20, 80, 80);
}
}
produces: "expecting EOF, found '}'"

What would a better message look like for those errors? I have to admit, they both look good to
me. How would we know what kind of unexpected token it is?

I guess the expecting EOF one could be caught, but I'm really dubious about the other one!

nobody in our audience knows what a token is, nor what EOF is. don't worry
about it though, i think it's something to watch for the time being. given
bug #1539, i'm hesitant to try to be too clever about it unless we can be
100% certain about what's going on.

Compiler gives an error:
"Cannot find Class or Type '[name]'" if there is an error with "{" in one of the classes in the program being ran.

It also gives the error:
"Found one too many { characters without a } to match it"
if there is some class in your program that doesnt have enough '{'s but the problem with this is that it highlights the wrong pde class and causes a LOT of confusion.
(Took me two days to figure out!) -> this really needs to be fixed ASAP
eg:
I have a program with my sketch folder containing the files main.pde, game.pde and player.pde
if there is some syntax error "{" in lets say the game.pde, the compiler will point to maybe player or even main to have the syntax issue!

Accidentally closed while merging pde x codebase. Reopened.

This is resolved in new PDEX error checking. I get Missing opening curly bracket "{" and Syntax error on "}", delete this which are the correct error messages.
