Without the debugging this is all you get. The error could be anything
but this line points in a rather specific direction al the time.

Rewording this line to be more generic would push me sooner to looking
at another section instead of that one line. Now I spend some time
thinking wether or not an empty line could be the problem. While it was
in fact a missing " somewhere else.

With fingers not always doing exactly what I want them to do I am used
to finding typo's in every line I write. But when an error points to
something specific I start looking for the indicated error.

Rephrasing it in the next version will prevent such misunderstandings.

Hugo.

PS: I spotted and fixed 15 finger mismatches in this simple message
before I did send it. Just curious how many I still missed.
