/**
* This is interface defines a protocol for the reporting of
* errors during JavaScript translation in IDE-mode.
* If the {@link org.mozilla.javascript.Parser}'s error reporter is
* set to an instance of this interface, then this interface's
* {@link #warning} and {@link #error} methods are called instead
* of the {@link org.mozilla.javascript.ErrorReporter} versions. <p>
*
* These methods take a source char offset and a length. The
* rationale is that in interactive IDE-type environments, the source
* is available and the IDE will want to indicate where the error
* occurred and how much code participates in it. The start and length
* are generally chosen to fit within a single line, for readability,
* but the client is free to use the AST to determine the affected
* node(s) from the start position and change the error or warning's
* display bounds.<p>
