Parse Error Feedback: '^' character misaligned with actual parse error location

[seltzer1717]

'^' is often not aligned with the actual location. This is most often due to tabs. The '^' character is being placed with spaces, but the error line can have tabs.

The solution should be simple, just use the white space characters from the failing line rather than spaces and substitute spaces for regular characters as the code does now.

I will try a pull request to correct this and take it if you like.

That sounds like a good idea. Thanks.
