Often times a LRM reference wouldn't be particularly helpful to anyone. For
example, if I misspell an identifier, I'd much rather have a message that says
that the identifier isn't declared, and perhaps its a misspelling of this one
over here that is declare, than a pointer to the section in the LRM that says I
have to define things before I use them.
