I do this too.  In my Pascal translator I went further in that it only
reports the first error then exits (with non-zero exit status of course).
That keeps clutter from obscuring the first error or scrolling it off the
screen.  After I fix the first error, other errors might be in different
locations anyway even if they are independent.
