The Problem

use statement when improperly terminated gives difficult-to-interpret error message

Steps to Reproduce

Tried some code from @antononcube 's excellent Text::Plot module but forgot to add terminating semicolon (i know, i know).

Started script with use Text::Plot instead of use Text::Plot;

use Text::Plot

my @xs = (0, 0.2 ... 5);
say text-list-plot(@xs, @xs>>.sin,
        x-label => 'x-points',
        y-label => 'value',
        y-tick-labels-format => '%10.2e',
        width => 80,
        height => 18,
        title => 'SINE PLOT');

Received error message:

�[31m===�[0mSORRY!�[31m===�[0m Error while compiling -
Error while importing from 'Text::Plot':
no EXPORT sub, but you provided positional argument in the 'use' statement
at -:3
------> �[32mmy @xs = (0, 0.2 ... 5)�[33m⏏�[31m;�[0m
    expecting any of:
        postfix

Maybe the above error message can be improved?

'use' statement possibly unterminated, or no EXPORT sub provided for positional argument

Environment

• Operating system: MacOS Ventura
• Compiler version (rakudo -v or raku -v): 2023.05

This is an interesting one.

My first thought is that we could state that there must be no newline between a use statements and its first qualified import.

use Foo <a
         vertical
         list>;  # This is fine

vs

use Foo
    <a list of imports>; # This is not fine

But maybe someone has a more elegant solution in mind?
