Domain: Error Messages Experience Enhancement Suggestion

TypeScript Version: nightly (2.5.0-dev.201xxxxx)

Code

        const candidateImports: string[];
        function addCandidateImport(import: string): void {
            candidateImports = candidateImports || [];
            candidateImports.push(import);
        }

Expected behavior:
Error: Reserved word "import" may not be used as a parameter name. (With a quick fix to give it another name, maybe).

Actual behavior:
Error: Parameter declaration expected. (And then everything after it parses badly)

The error seems to be Identifier expected. 'import' is a reserved word that cannot be used here.(1359) https://www.typescriptlang.org/play?target=1&jsx=0&module=1#code/AQ0jGD2B2DOAuxwENoBMCWbnwKYEkBbAB0gCd5YAuYBMjaAcwG0BdAbgCgwwAzAV2jh4GGMGRo0AYVSZseIqQoAKDCXLwadBowCUNAG6QswAN7cellOiw4C6irGABeJLNsKHlYAB8fwNi5LK3d5eyVKADpiflgAC1UvXSDggF8gA
