I wonder if there is a plan for migrating library unit tests.

I don't know what this output format is supposed to be, but usually for dynamic width I would construct the format string.

In this example with newlines added, the col is 5 and is the width of the caret field.

scala> "%s:%d:%d: %s\n%s\n%s^".format(descr, line, col, msg, lineNum(line), spaces(col - 1))
val res3: String = descr:10:5: message
hello, world
    ^

scala> "%s:%d:%d: %s\n%s\n%5s".format(descr, line, col, msg, lineNum(line), "^")
val res4: String = descr:10:5: message
hello, world
    ^

scala> s"%s:%d:%d: %s\n%s\n%${col}s".format(descr, line, col, msg, lineNum(line), "^")
val res5: String = descr:10:5: message
hello, world
    ^

Edit: I don't know if there is a plan for deprecating stuff that they were talking about deprecating a long time ago.

Edit: this particular change may be either fine or irrelevant, but it would be nice to address testing and/or deprecation. The previous edit to this line caused an off-by-one in the line number; that was in 2010.

There are plans but I have limited time. One step at a time.
