It could, but I actually held back from it because it seemed like the 
subPointer and the pointer pointed to points of the same individual error 
(perhaps start and end of a bad element) rather than seperate instances of 
the same error, I am happy with either approach though.

This is fine, and makes sense to me.

You're right, it shouldn't exist, it was a left over from when I had another 
level of indirection isn't the snippet class. Sorry.

Cheers,
