I'm not sure one could easily parse, or moreover report, this error better.

But the result is almost same as you mentioned. Even worse - if someone wants to add a method to a particular object, and the object is frozen, then they might be tempted to make the more global change to the object's class instead. This would be bad--changing all objects because you were frustrated while trying to change one. How am I doing? Dave ps. Any thoughts on the change in parsing of function calls that seems to have happened in the latest checkout?
