CoCoA » CoCoA-5

CoCoA correctly gives a parse error given the input 8.a;

The error message is:

--> ERROR: Expecting type RECORD or PACKAGE, but found type INT
--> 8.a;
--> ^

With the input a.8; we get the error message:

--> ERROR: I was expecting an identifier but I've found the number "8" 
--> a.8;
-->   ^

Are these error messages OK? Should we, could we, make them clearer?
