      When an unexpected character is encountered, for example, I receive an error like this:

      Thu Aug 13 18:35:18.777 SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

      I'm currently dealing with a very large query that's almost 100 lines. It is very difficult to find this character because I do not even know what the character is.

      The shell should provide useful information for the user like showing the failed character and where the character was encountered.
