+Summary: [PATCH] improve CS1520 error's reported location
+
+Given:
+static class T
+{
+        static void Main ()
+        {
+        }
+
+        static Foo () // missing return type on purpose
+        {
+        }
+}
+
+mcs currently reports:
+$ mcs t.cs
+Foo and T
+t.cs(1) error CS1520: Class, struct, or interface method must have a return
+type
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+I would think it much more helpful if it reported:
+$ mcs t.cs
+Foo and T
+t.cs(7) error CS1520: Class, struct, or interface method must have a return
+type
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+Attching a two-liner to change from using the class location, to
+Constructor.Location in the error report and comment that Console.WriteLine
+that prints 'Foo and T'
