Can we get more Jenkinsfile line information in Jenkins exception stack traces?

Using Jenkins Ask a question

One thing which makes Jenkins very difficult to develop with is that the Java exceptions that occur when there is a problem are very difficult to relate to a specific line in the Jenkinsfile that produced it. Is there a plan to improve this in the future?

What kind of field do you try to troubleshoot?

Commonly, the pipeline plugins provide information like:

23:24:41  WorkflowScript: 7: Unknown stage section "withEnv". Starting with version 0.5, steps in a stage must be in a ‘steps’ block. @ line 7, column 9.
23:24:41             stage('Build') {
23:24:41             ^
23:24:41  
23:24:41  WorkflowScript: 7: Expected one of "steps", "stages", or "parallel" for stage "Build" @ line 7, column 9.
23:24:41             stage('Build') {
23:24:41             ^
23:24:41  
23:24:41  2 errors

when a Jenkinsfile is improperly formatted, steps are out of bounds or tools don’t exist, before the stacktrace.
