Weird idetools column misplacements

[gradha]

Continuing my work on https://github.com/gradha/the_hyperlink_vs_nimrod/tree/develop I'm unleashing idetools on simple source files and finding unexpected results. If you take a look at http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/145894/t/weird.proc.th.html you will see highlighted the characters for which idetools returns anything for the --def option.

In general it does a good job, but there are strange off by one errors. Many words are highlighted one character past their actual text, including whitespace. But more worrying is that on line 12 column 16 the first letter of the toSeq iterator is not highlighted, which seems a bug.

Further parsing of the idetools output to display the docstrings highlights that the last call to test() on line 17 produces an incorrect docstring for the local proc, for some reason it gets the docstring from the runes() iterator.

Since dropbox sucks I've mirrored the file at https://gist.github.com/gradha/5528425, though gist is not very user friendly for HTML either.

Column handling has been fixed in the compiler by now.

It seems to be a little better but not yet correct. I've updated http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/145894/t/weird.proc.th.html where you can see the toSeq doesn't get any love at all, and the exported input variable is shifted (though that's likely easier tracked in #452). You can also run the idetools test case which fails to verify the columns are ok:

    $ cd tests
    $ nimrod c -r caasdriver 416
